Therefore, the rate in Colombia saw its lowest number in that year with 14.2 live births per 1,000 inhabitants. Notably, the rate is continuously decreasing over the last years.

Supplementary notes

The crude birth rate indicates the number of live births occurring during the year, per 1,000 population estimated at midyear. Subtracting the crude death rate from the crude birth rate provides the rate of natural increase, which is equal to the rate of population change in the absence of migration.
