[edit] Indigenous births

The total fertility rate (TFR) for the aborigine population was 2.118 in 2006, which was considerably higher than the 1.749 recorded for American Indians in USA but lower than the 2.683 recorded for Maoris in NZ.

In 2006 the teenage fertility rate of Indigenous women (69 births per 1,000 women) was more than five times the fertility rate of non-Indigenous teenage women (13 births per 1000). A total of 12,496 births were reported where at least one parent was Indigenous. But at least 15% of the indigenous births , especially those in remote desert regions were not reported.

[edit] Historical TFR

TFR is Total Fertility Rate, i.e the approx. number of children each woman is going to have in her life time. The change in TFR with time is given in the table below:
