Child-Woman ratio is a measure of

  • A.Population growth
  • B.Migration
  • C.Mortality
  • D.Fertility

Answer: D

The child-woman ratio is a measure of fertility.

It is the number of children aged 0 - 4 per thousand women of reproductive age (usually 15 - 49), so it is a fertility measure that can be worked out from a census age distribution alone.

It is not a measure of population growth, migration or mortality, although the number of children counted is influenced slightly by child deaths. It is used where birth registration is incomplete.
