93. Characteristics of Women Who Have Had a Child in the Last Year

[As of June. Covers civilian noninstitutional population. Since thenumber of women who had a birth during the 12-month period wastabulated and not the actual numbers of births, some smallunderestimation of fertility for this period may exist due to the omission of: (1) Multiple births, (2) Two or more live births spacedwithin the 12-month period (the woman is counted only once), (3) Womenwho had births in the period and who did not survive to the survey date,(4) Women who were in institutions and therefore not in the surveyuniverse. These losses may be somewhat offset by the inclusion in theCPS of births to immigrants who did not have their children born inthe United States and births to nonresident women. These births wouldnot have been recorded in the vital registration system. Based onCurrent Population Survey (CPS); see text, Section 1 and Appendix III]
