     Note:
     Since the number of women who have had a birth during the 12-month
     period was tabulated and not the actual numbers of births themselves,
     a small underestimation of fertility for this period may exist because
     of the omission of: (1) Multiple births; (2) more than one live birth
     occurred to a woman in a 12-month period (the woman counted only
     once); (3) women who had births in this period and who had died by the
     survey date; (4) women who were in institutions and therefore not in
     the survey universe; and (5) 2 percent of births in a 12-month period
     (only 51 weeks of data are tabulated in the CPS due to the interview
     schedule).
     These losses may be somewhat offset by the inclusion in the CPS of
     births to immigrants who did not have their children born in the
     United States and births to nonresident women who had their children
     born in the U.S.  These births would not have been recorded in the
     registration system.  The ages of the women in this table and similar
     tables in this report refer to the age of women at the time of the
     survey and not at the birth of the child.

     1/ Persons of Hispanic origin may be of any race.
     2/ Includes separated women.
