China’s fertility rate is estimated to have dropped to a record low of 1.09 in 2022, the National Business Daily said on Tuesday, a figure likely to rattle authorities as they try to boost the country’s declining number of new births.

Crude birth rate bounces around for a lot of reasons.
The fertility rate, which has nothing to do with individual fertility, is a better statistical measure of population trends.
I’m thinking more in terms of the terminology used rather than the methodology.
A lot of technical terminology sounds weird to people outside the field.
“Fertility rate” is standard in demography.
