The total fertility rate in an economy is defined as :

Gives an explicit definition of TFR as the total number of children that would be born to each woman over her child-bearing years (per woman, lifetime measure).

A student can contrast this per-woman lifetime definition with measures expressed 'per 1000 people in a year' to suspect they are different concepts.

States TFR is the average number of children born per woman and notes replacement level ~2.1 children per woman (units are 'per woman').

A student can use the clear 'per woman' phrasing to rule out an interpretation that TFR is a per-1000-per-year rate.

Defines the crude birth rate (CBR) as the number of live births in a year per thousand of population — an example of a rate expressed 'per 1000 people in a year'.

A student can map the 'per 1000 per year' formulation here to the statement's wording and infer that that formulation corresponds to CBR, not TFR.

Also defines birth rate as number of live births per thousand persons in a year and contrasts birth/death rates as components of population change.

A student can use this to understand standard demographic convention: annual 'per 1000' measures are crude rates, distinct from lifetime-per-woman measures like TFR.

Provides historical series of birth and death rates expressed 'per 1000 persons' showing common use of 'per 1000 per year' for crude rates.

A student can generalize that demographic statistics use 'per 1000 per year' wording for crude rates (CBR/CDR), supporting the idea that TFR (per woman) is different.

Gives a direct definition-style formulation: TFR is the total number of children that would be born to each woman if she were to live to the end of her child-bearing years.

A student can contrast 'per woman' here with the statement's 'per couple' language and use basic reasoning to suspect the statement misstates the unit (woman vs couple).

States TFR as 'the average number of children born per woman' and mentions replacement level ~2.1 children per woman.

Compare the unit 'per woman' to 'per couple' in the statement; knowing replacement level refers to women helps reject the 'per couple' phrasing.

Uses policy language targeting TFR 'at 2.1 children per woman' as a medium-term goal, reinforcing the 'per woman' metric.

A student can infer that official demographic targets treat TFR per woman, so interpreting it per couple would require an extra conversion/assumption about couples.

National policy objective framed as bringing the Total Fertility Rate to replacement level (2.1) by a date, again linking TFR with children per woman.

Knowing replacement-level fertility is expressed per woman allows a student to question the statement's 'per couple' phrasing and consider demographic conventions.

Mentions TFR values and replacement level in discussion of population trends, treating TFR as an aggregate per-woman indicator in demographic analysis.

A student could use these examples of TFR figures (expressed per woman) to show that demographic practice reports TFR per woman, not per couple.

Gives a direct definition of Total Fertility Rate (TFR) as the total number of children a woman would bear over her child‑bearing years (not a rate difference).

A student could contrast this definition with measures expressed per 1000 (birth/death rates) to see they are different kinds of measures and thus suspect the statement is false.

States that 'natural increase of population is the difference between birth rates and death rates' — showing that birth minus death is used to measure natural population change, not fertility per woman.

Combine this with the TFR definition (snippet 1) to infer that birth‑minus‑death relates to population growth, not to TFR.

Explains components of population change and defines Crude Birth Rate (CBR) and Crude Death Rate (CDR) as births/deaths per thousand — a different metric class from TFR.

Using a world map or population data, a student could compare CBR−CDR values with TFR values to see they behave differently, reinforcing that TFR ≠ birth−death.

Table listing Crude Birth Rate, Crude Death Rate and 'Natural Growth' (persons per thousand) explicitly treats natural growth as the difference between CBR and CDR.

A student could note that natural growth (CBR−CDR) is reported per thousand population, whereas TFR (snippet 1) is children per woman — different units imply different concepts.

Lists TFR among health indicators and (in the list) appears alongside CBR and CDR, implying TFR is a distinct demographic indicator rather than a computed difference of birth and death rates.

Recognizing TFR as a separate indicator, a student could look up unit conventions or example values to confirm TFR is not simply birth rate minus death rate.
