Births

Statistics on births record the number of births registered in New Zealand each year. Along with death, marriage, civil union, and divorce statistics, they are often referred to as 'vital statistics'. They provide the basic information about the structure of the population and how it changes over time.

Information about births includes a range of fertility rates.
