Data for 1965

Crude Birth Rate, 1965

1965, as UN DESA Population Division’s 2024 release gives it · stored as published, never rewritten

The crude birth rate is the number of babies born alive in a year for every 1,000 people living in a country. It is the simplest measure of how many births a population produces, and it is "crude" because it takes no account of how many of those people are of an age to have children.

Crude Birth Rate, 1965 covers 222 countries. Yemen is highest, at 56.803; Vatican City is lowest, at 10.421. The middle country reads 40.692. Against 1964, 221 values changed (49 up, 172 down), the same countries are covered.
