Note: Crude birth rates (CBR) and crude death rates CCDR) are per 1,000 population; total fertility rates (TFR) and net reproduction rates (CRN) are per woanm 15-49 years of age; life expectancy at birth, ECO), is given in years; and infant mortality rates CIMR) are per 1,000 live births.

Ca) More developed" cooprises Europe, U.S.S.R., Northern America (United States and Canada), Australia, New Zealard, and Japan. Less developed' comprises the rest of the world.
