Total Fertility Rate, Alberta and Alberta Health Services Continuum Zones

This Alberta Official Statistic compares the total fertility rate (TFR) across the five Alberta Health Services Continuum Zones for 2014. The TFR represents the number of children a woman would have on average if the current age-specific fertility rates prevailed throughout her childbearing years (ages 15 to 49). It is one of the most useful indicators of fertility because it gives the best picture of how many children women are currently having.
