The correct answer is  • Standardized index for fertility level.
• Average no. of children a woman would bear in her reproductive life span; Also known as ‘Period Total Fertility Rate.’
• Gives magnitude of approximately ‘completed family size’ – no. of alive children in a family.
• Obtained by summing single-year age-specific rates at a given time.
• TFR is a synthetic rate: Is not actually counted, as this would involve waiting until women complete childbearing.
