Age specific death or birth rate: # births or deaths per age group z / total # people aged z. Child mortality rate: # deaths of children aged 1-4. 9/# of children of that age in that area. Maternal mortality rate: # of women who die as a result of complications of pregnancy/childbirth per 1000 live births. Population growth rate/natural increase: crude birth rate minus crude death rate; gives percentage of population growth per year. Only accounts for natural population change; not including migration if includes migration, then = actual population change.
