title: [Concise measures of period fertility by birth order. An application to Italian data].
abstract: "In recent studies several authors have shown how fertility tables and concise measures by birth order, strictly and exclusively related to the period fertility conditions, can be derived on the basis of parity progression rates.... The many indicators derivable from the fertility tables compiled as stated above are described systematically and completely in relation to their different features. On the basis of a 'complementary' model [I show] a further category of concise measures referring to fertility tables which are formally identical to the classical life tables with regard to each order of birth. The study includes applications to concrete data concerning North Central and Southern divisions of Italy (1980-1982 and 1988-1990)." (SUMMARY IN ENG AND FRE)
