Thc total number of expected legitimate and illegitimate births was
obtained by adding the figures
for
each age-group. These were adjusted
in
proportion
to
the difference between resident and enumerated
population, so far as residents of Scottish counties were concerned, to
bring the figures into line with statistics of actual births corrected for
residence. The ratio of aclual to expected births, representing
a
fertility index irrespective of nuptiality. was then worked out and
multiplied by the hypothetical gross reproduction rate to obtain an
estimate
for
the actual
gross
reproduction rate.
The same procedure was followed for
1930-32,
using the legitimate
and illegitimate fertility rates constructed for Scotland.
