Multiple births
Multiple births are cases of two or more children born from one pregnancy. The indicator includes the total number of births, including stillbirths, and separates births of three or more children into a distinct category. The data allow assessment of the dynamics of such events over time. Values are recorded nationwide, covering statistics from 1960 onward. Analysis helps understand demographic features of population reproduction and health‑care development across historical periods

How to read this table
Differences in table rows correspond to time periods for which birth indicators are recorded. Focus on comparing the total number of births with the number of multiple‑birth cases. This comparison reveals changes in the frequency of twins and higher‑order multiple pregnancies. The table shows how the number of births, including those of three or more children, has varied across years such as 1960, 1965 and 1980
What is visible in these numbers
What is measured: Number of births (including stillbirths); of which multiple births — with twins; of which multiple births — with triplets; of which multiple births — with a larger number
Cells with numbers 100 out of 100 (100%); there are practically no gaps in the data
