Description :
Very often non-demographers are using the evolution of the observed number of births in a country as an indicator for the changes in the fertility of that country. In the Netherlands this leads to an underestimation of the fertility decline since 1965. In the paper the size of this underestimation and the contribution of the two explaining factors changes in the total female population aged 15-49 and in the age composition of the group both together and separate, are calculated. The effect of both factors on the observed number of births is a non-negligible slowing down of the birth decline in the Netherlands. (AGD).
