What we will call the age-based TMFR is computed conventionally by adding up agespecific marital-fertility rates in the hope of estimating the number of children ever born to a woman who is married throughout her childbearing years.

The rise in marital fertility in East Asian societies with very low fertility has been reported through analyses using the age-specific marital fertility rate (AMFR). Though the measure is often considered related to the average number of children married women have (CMF), we demonstrated that such an interpretation is often erroneous (AMFR problem) and valid only under limited conditions in mo...
