  1. Data source: The results for 1990–2015 were computed using tabulated age-specific fertility data from the censuses and 1% population sample surveys during the same period
  2. The computed results of TMFR for women aged 15–19 were overestimated owing to underreporting of their marriage in the censuses. Therefore, data for women aged 20–49 are included in TMFR. To facilitate comparison, the TFRs in the TFR/TMFR are also for women aged 20–49 years
