I'm wondering here if by "différentielles" they don't mean "differential fertility"... Can anyone help ?
Here's the bigger context:
"Il sera question d’analyser la fécondité du moment, la **fécondité cumulée et ses différentielles** selon les caractéristiques de la femme. On y abordera la fécondité achevée des femmes à la fin de leur vie reproductive. Ensuite on enchaînera sur la fécondité cumulée, son niveau et ses éventuelles disparités.
Thanks in advance,
Dana

cumulative fertility and the differential
I take it to mean the current fertility, the cumulative fertility, and the difference between the two

Note from asker:
| wouldn't it be LEURS différentielles if it was referring to the difference between the two? |
| Yes, I have done so. Thanks. |
Peer comment(s):
| agree |
SJLD
: cumulative fertility is correct (= current parity) but the differentials refer to the breakdown according to various explanatory factors (sociodemographic, for example)

Thanks SJLD - I hadn't read it that way, but of course you're right

current birth rate, lifetime birth rate, and the differences between them
Hello,
cumulée = lifetime (accumulated)
ses différentielles = the differences between these two rates (margin of difference, etc)
I hope this helps.

"La fécondité" usually refers to "taux de fécondité."
cumulée = over a lifetime
cumulée = lifetime (accumulated)
ses différentielles = the differences between these two rates (margin of difference, etc)
I hope this helps.

| Fécondité / Fértilité and faux amis, each one is translated in English as the other when in a demographics context. However for medical I believe fecundité = fécundity. |

SJLD
: not talking about birth rates here/because I have studied demography and carried out demographic research/first of all, it's fertility not fecundity. Birth rate is based on whole pop, fertility rate on women of childbearing years (15-49 usually)

How do you know that? Fecundity rates are birth rates.

total fertility rate
Hello again!
(4) Total fertility rate: Average number of children a woman would bear during her lifetime, assuming her childbearing conforms to her age-specific fertility rate every year of her childbearing years (typically, age 15 to 44).

Thanks, SJLD! This is much more confusing that I would ever thought it to be. I'm extremely confused.
