The findings of this report suggest that levels of fertility have not changed much for 30 years. The total fertility rate is still in the region of six children per woman, the same rate as that recorded in the 1985 Census. The crude birth rate, the general fertility rate, the gross reproduction rate and the number of children ever born have also remained roughly the same. The mean age at childbearing is in the region of 30 years. Marriage is a common phenomenon amongst both men and women, although more women are married than men.
