The following vibles hve been used: Age bih ws defined s he diffeence beween ye of bih of mohe nd ye of bih of he child lso known s ge eched duing he ye. Regionl specs wee ken ino ccoun by disinguishing Esen Gemny nd Wesen Gemny. Esen Gemny is hee defined s Esen Gemny including he enie ciy of elin. Wesen Gemny does no include elin. 6 The ode of bih ws consuced by dding one o he numbe of pio live bihs. One spec h equied specil enion concens he muliple bihs. Fo singleons he bih ode cn be geneed by simply dding one o he numbe of peviously live-bon childen. This segy needed o be modified fo muliple bihs becuse he numbes of peviously bon childen do no ke ino ccoun he cuen bih. In ohe wods if womn gives bih o wins nd does no hve ny pio childen he numbe of pevious live bihs is zeo in he Peinl Sisics. If we would pply he sme segy s fo singleons we would ssign eoneously boh childen he bih ode one. We coeced his bis by ssigning one of he wins o bih ode one while he ohe one coesponds o bih ode wo. 7 3.2 Excluded bihs Only smll numbe of bihs hd o be omied fom he w d in boh d ses see Tble 4.

In he vil sisics he bihs e ssigned ccoding o he plce of esidence of he mohe. In he Peinl Sisics bihs e ssigned ccoding o he plce of bih of he child.
