-'''Death rate''' gives the average annual number of deaths during a year per 1,000 [[population]] at midyear; also known as crude death rate. The death rate, while only a rough indicator of the [[mortality]] situation in a country, accurately indicates the current [[mortality]] impact on [[population growth]]. This indicator is significantly affected by age distribution, and most countries will eventually show a rise in the overall death rate, in spite of continued decline in mortality at all ages, as declining [[fertility]] results in an aging population.
