About the data
The number of live births, children born showing any sign of life, in each calendar month or in the whole year, counted by the month in which the birth took place.
Eurostat: “Live births : births of children that showed any sign of life. It is the total number of births excluding stillbirths (total births include live births and stillbirths).” (source)
Births recorded in civil and population registers, reported by the national statistical institutes to Eurostat every year.
How to read these numbers
How it is measured
The figures are numbers of births, not rates. Countries and months differ in size and length. A month with more days has more births for that reason alone.
France's figures cover the whole country, with its overseas departments. Mayotte has been included since 2014. Cyprus's figures cover only the areas controlled by the government of the Republic of Cyprus.
