Total Fertility Rate is Asia
For this assignment, I printed an illustrative model of Fertility Rate (TFR) of all the countries in Asia. The total fertility rate (TFR), sometimes also called the fertility rate, absolute/potential natality, period total fertility rate (PTFR), or total period fertility rate (TPFR) of a population is the average number of children that would be born to a woman over her lifetime if:
· She was to experience the exact current age-specific fertility rates (ASFRs) through her lifetime, and
· She was to survive from birth to the end of her reproductive life.
It is obtained by summing the single-year age-specific rates at a given time.(Wikipedia)
Also, according to the Population Reference Bureau, Total Fertility Rate (TFR) is defined as, “the average number of children a women would have assuming that 
current age-specific birth rates remain constant throughout her childbearing years.” Simply put, total fertility rate is the average number of children a woman would have if a she survives all her childbearing (or reproductive) years. Childbearing years are considered age 15 to 49.
current age-specific birth rates remain constant throughout her childbearing years.” Simply put, total fertility rate is the average number of children a woman would have if a she survives all her childbearing (or reproductive) years. Childbearing years are considered age 15 to 49.
The model displayed here shows how Total fertility rate varies by country. The different heights of the countries correspond to the magnitude of the indicator. The taller the height, the higher the value.
I designed this print using the “prism” function that was given in the sample document and got the data through “TotalFertilityRate” command on Mathematica. The source for all the data that I used in this assignment is: Wolfram Research, Inc., SystemModeler, Version 12.0, Champaign, IL (2019).
