says:
(paraphrasing Mosteller and Tukey):
Switzerland, in 1888, was entering a period known as the
'demographic transition'; i.e., its fertility was beginning to
fall from the high level typical of underdeveloped countries.
The exact definition of fertility is as follows.
fertility = 100 * B_l/ sum m_i f_i, where
B_l = annual legitimate births,
m_i = the number of married women in age interval i,
and f_i = the fertility Hutterite women in the same age interval.
"Hutterite women" are women in a population that is known to be extremely
fertile.
Stillbirths are included.
