Fertility rate estimates the average number of children a woman would have over her lifetime based on a snapshot of current year age-specific birth patterns.

Birth rate represents the number of live births per 1,000 people in a population during a given year. Unlike the fertility rate, it does not account for age or sex composition of the population.
