Discussion

SJLD Sep 27, 2008:
achieved vs completed Dana, these terms mean basically the same thing. However, you can speak of "achieved fertility" at any age - for example, the achieved fertility of women in the 30-39 yr age group. "Completed fertility" on the other hand refers specifically to the fertility of a cohort of women at the end of reproductive life.
SJLD Sep 26, 2008:
false cognate As jlsjr points out: taux de fécondité = fertility rate NOT fecundity.
These demographic terms cannot be invented.
Jean-Louis S. Sep 26, 2008:
Fécondité achevée http://books.google.com/books?id=WhOhhW7kHWYC&pg=PA60&lpg=PA...
L'on entend par fecondité achevée le nombre total moyen d'enfants d'un groupe réel ou hypothetique de femmes parvenues a la fin de l'age de procreer, generalement consideré comme 50 ans. Le nombre total moyen d'enfants de femmes de 50 à 54 ans lors d'un recensement déterminé, par exemple, reflète la fécondité achevée de ce groupe de femmes.

www.oecd.org/dataoecd/57/41/34906081.xls
Le taux de fécondité achevée mesure le nombre d'enfants qu'une cohorte de femmes parvenues à la fin de leur période de procréation ont eu au cours de leurs années de fécondité. On le mesure en cumulant les taux de fécondité par âge dans une cohorte donnée
Jean-Louis S. Sep 26, 2008:
Fecundity/fertility Encyclopedia of Public Health:
Literally, "fecundity" means the ability to produce live offspring, and "fertility" means the actual production of live offspring. So fecundity refers to the potential production, and fertility to actual production, of live offspring. Fecundity cannot be measured, but it can be assessed clinically. Fertility and its impairments and aberrations are recorded for individuals in their medical charts and are measured in the population by routinely collected vital statistics about reproductive outcomes such as births, stillbirths, miscarriages, and so on. Fecundity and fertility are often confused. The confusion is further confounded by the fact that in French the meanings of the two similar-sounding words are reversed: fécondité means "fertility," and fertilité means "fecundity." Communication among demographers and others about these demographic details therefore requires care and awareness of this fact.

Peer comment(s):
neutral Drmanu49 : Is this coherent with the end of "reproductive life" which is mentioned?
47 mins
You are right in the sense that "end of reproductive life" is not necessary. See my second entry in discussion above. Thank you!
agree SJLD : yes - it's fertility not fecundity here - fecundity is the biological ability to reproduce, which is not something that is measured in population studies
