The study of birth intervals through life table approach

الملخص EN

The study of birth intervals as an important factor to understand and analyze human fertility is relatively new.

However, a variety of mathematical models based on birth intervals have been used to study the human reproduction process and its components.

Life tables are one of the most important tools used in demographic analysis and one of the most efficient means of scientific analysis in the study and analysis of the phenomenon of births.

Therefore, this paper uses the life table approach to illustrate the analysis of birth intervals using real data extracted from Egypt's Demographic and Health Survey conducted in 2014; based on assumptions of human reproductive process, and some mathematical functions and relationships associated with fertility tables.

The survey is carried out based on 59, 266 married females.

In this paper, fertility tables for parity 14m=1, 2, 3"> and for some selected variables are produced.

The variables studied are the place of residence and educational status.

The results obtained through the application are logical and compatible with the real-life.
