- The total fertility rate of Kerala in both categories is 1.8.
- At the national level, the total fertility rate for women with educational status ‘illiterate’ is 3.1, much higher than the ‘literate’ group (1.9).
- The Total Fertility Rate (TFR) is the average number of children born to a woman during her reproductive years (15-49 years).
