9. Number of children born living:

For women under 16 years of age (as well as for men) this question is not applicable.

[p. 77]


The total number of children of a woman can only be compiled with a specific question and allows analyses about how the number of children of a woman correlates with other characteristics: with occupation, with the profession of the husband, with the educational background etc. The results should clarify birth and family statistical correlations and facilitate the projection of Austria's population. As such, the low birth rate in recent years is an essential factor for the future demographic development.
