When to use Child Woman Ratio CWR Calculator
Use this fertility measure when the births, women at risk, parity categories, and observation period follow the definition required by the selected method.
- Children 0-4
- Population aged 0-4 at the reference date.
- Women 15-49
- Female population aged 15-49.
How the method works
- CWR
- Children under five per 1000 women aged 15-49.
Limitations and assumptions
Period and cohort fertility answer different questions. Survey recall, parity truncation, changing age patterns, union definitions, and mismatched exposure populations can materially change the result.
Alternative or Complementary measures
Pair period fertility with cohort measures, parity distributions, or wanted-fertility indicators when available. These complementary views separate timing changes from completed family size and stated preferences.
