during the Year 2005 of 1 lakh

population had in that year:2300 Live

55 Maternal Deaths; 138 Infant
Deaths; Calculate (i) Birth Rate;
(ii) Crude Death Rate; (iii) Growth

(v) Infant Mortality Rate
(i) Birth Rate = (No.
of Live Births in the Geographical Area in the
year /Mid year Population of the area of the same Year)X1000

=[(Here Live Births=2300)/(Population=100000)]x 1000=23 per Thousand

Birth Rate =(2300/100000)X1000=23 per Thousand

(ii) CrudeDeath Rate = (No. of Deaths of All Ages of the Area in
the Year/ Mid year Population of the area of the same
Year)X1000
=[(Here No. of Deaths=1100 )/(Population=100000)]x 1000= 11 Per

Crude Death Rate =(1100/100000)X1000= 11 per Thousand

• (ii) Growth Rate =(Net Increase in
the Year of the Geographical Area from the
previous year/ population of the previous yearx1000

=[(No. of Live Births of the area in the year- No. of Deaths of All Ages of the
area in the year)/100000] x 100

Growth Rate-[(2300-1100)/100000]x 1 00

=1.2 (Annual Growth Rate in %)

• (iv) Maternal Mortality Rate
=[No. of Maternal Deaths (i.e. Deaths due to
puerperal Causes of the Child Bearing ages of
