- Women in the reference base currently using any method.
- Base women
- Total women in the reference base.
How the method works
- CPR %

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.
