| Observations |
The starting year for the data series is 2012.
For 2012 and 2013 were included only those live-births that occurred in Romania, regardless of the country of usual residence, whose mothers had, at birth, their usual residence in Romania, and their territorial breakdown was carried out by the mother's permanent residence.
Beginning with 2014 in the calculation of this indicator were included only the live births whose mothers had their usual residence in Romania and whose birth was recorded at Civil Status Offices in Romania.
Usual residence means the place at which a person normally spends the daily period of rest, regardless of temporary absences for purposes of recreation, holiday, visits to friends and relatives, business, medical treatment or religious pilgrimage or, in default, the place of legal or registered residence.
Usual residence can be the same with the permanent residence, or might be different for those persons that choose to settle their usual residence in another locality than the permanent residence one.
In order to compute the fertility rate, the usual female resident population (15-49 years) at July 1st was used.
Usual resident population represents all persons of Romanian nationality, foreign or stateless who have their usual residence in Romania.
The statistical data are constantly revised, according to the Revision Policy of NIS.
Thus, the data for 2023 have been modified and are of "revised".
Data prior to 2023 will not be revised.
The revised data on vital events (live-births ) for the year T represents the absolute final data related to vital events (live-births) recorded in year T, to which were added vital events (live-births) belatedly recorded in years (T+1), (T+2) and the first four months of (T+3), but that occurred in year T. |
