General Fertility Rate (GFR) is higher than Crude Birth Rate (CBR) when:
A. Life expectancy is low
B. Infant mortality is high
C. The proportion of women aged 15-49 is high
D. The proportion of women aged 15-49 is low
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
GFR denominator is only women 15-49, while CBR uses total population. If this group is a small share of total population (e.g., aging society), GFR > CBR because the same births are divided by a smaller denominator.
