[Population reproduction rates for all Japan: 1973].

Seven Tables are reported: Table 1, Standardized and crude vital rates of 1925-1973; Table 2, Reproduction rates for female, 1925-1973; Table 3, Intrinsic vital rates, average length of generation of stable population and age composition of stable and actual population for female, 1925-1973; Table 4, Population, number of births and specific fertility rates by age, and reproduction rates for female, 1973; Table 5, Population number of deaths and specific mortality rates by 5-year age groups and sexes, 1973; Table 6, Intrinsic vital rates and average length of generation of stable population for female, 1973; and Table 7, Age composition of stable population for female, 1973. From the tables of standardized vital rates, (based on the Newsholme-Stevenson direct method and census data of 1930 as a standard), a slight increasing birth rate of 16.07/1000 (%), (15.97% in 1972), the lowest death rate 4.65% (4.61% in 1972), and also a slight increasing reproduction rate are observed.
