ALL the tab les A.1 to A.4 yield the same value of TNF R for
1981, nemoly, 9.3966, which can be rounded to 9.40.
Ono final conment may now be mado about the estimates of the
various indices for tho base yeor 1901 . In the terminology of the
Population Counci l,

C = Index of marriage ---- = 0.84

AWRA
C = Index of contraception = 1 - sue = 0.8104

TFR + 0.4 (1+uIxTota l abortion rate
For the index of postpartum infecundab! lity (C
there is no
commonly accepted value for Bangladesh. We therefore suggsa t that
this index for 1981 shouLd be estimated from the formula
.. . . TFR
C =------------------------ = 0.6142
15.3xC xC xC
Cj C m
The. number "15.3" In the denominator of the formula for C
is "total fecundity rate" for which, we have assumed the general
value recommended by BDongaarts & Potter (1903),
In the absence of
any specific estimate for Bang ladesh.
Now we can proceed to apply our modal for the target years
