Birth and deaths

The statistics of births and deaths supply the basic demographic information on fertility, for assessing mortality conditions, life expectancy and the ageing of the population. Thus they provide fundamental data on living conditions. They serve as information for the public and as a basis for decisions in the fields of family and social policy. Additionally, they show the trends of the past until the latest reference year.
