Summary Introduction

Introduction:

The mean number of progenies that a woman produces during her life span is called thenet reproductive rate $(R_0)$

. The reproductive rate is calculated by the given formula:

$R_0={\displaystyle \sum l_x}{m}_x$

Where,

$R_0$ = net reproductive rate,

S = sum of all age class,

$l_x$ = age-specific survivorship and

$m_x$ = age-specific fertility.
