General Fertility Rate (GFR) is more refined than Crude Birth Rate because it:
A. Adjusts for infant mortality
B. Includes stillbirths
C. Uses only women of reproductive age in the denominator
D. Is easier to calculate
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
GFR restricts the denominator to women aged 15-49, the biologically relevant group for childbearing, providing a more accurate measure of fertility intensity than CBR's total population denominator.
Explanation:
GFR = (Live births / Women aged 15-49) × 1,000, focusing on the biologically relevant population for childbearing, making it a more refined fertility measure than CBR.
