This report provides data on fertility and contraception for Countries of populations with 1 million and over. Tables featuring women by age group focus on the fertility rate; children ever born, or desired in a lifetime; and women who were ever married. For women who practiced contraception, tables show educational attainment, number of children living, means of contraception, and source of supplies and services. The publication also covers legal abortions and live births delivered in hospitals or by trained personnel. The report also examines literacy as well as women in the labor force and broad occupational categories—white collar workers, for example. The dates covered depend on the availability of data for a given country.
Census statistics date back to 1790 and reflect the growth and change of the United States. Past census reports contain some terms that today’s readers may consider obsolete and inappropriate. As part of our goal to be open and transparent with the public, we are improving access to all Census Bureau original publications and statistics, which serve as a guide to the nation's history.
