Question:
I have had a researcher asking for annual fertility rate by province from 1965-2015. They have fertility rates from 2000-2015 from Table 13-10-0418-01. We also have number of births by province in Table 17-10-0008-01 going back to 1971. We can find national fertility rates in the OECD numbers going back to 1970, but they need provincial.
I think historical data is likely available in print documents and we are able to get fertility rates from 1986-1996 in the Vital Statistics Compendium. I am emailing to ask if I am missing anything. Is there one source where I can get provincial fertility rates going back to 1965 or will we need to use multiple sources including print to get these numbers. Any recommendations are welcome.
