			==Significance==

			Birth order is a useful tool to break down existing data on fertility to obtain a more complete picture of fertility. Thus, for instance, rather than reporting the [[age-specific fertility rate]] and [[total fertility rate]] for ''all'' births, we can report these values specifically at different [[birth order]]s. This allows us to estimate and account for the [[tempo effect]] and compute a [[tempo-adjusted total fertility rate]].

==Definition==

The '''birth order''' of an individual is defined as the rank of that individual among his or her [[sibling]]s, where older (earlier-born) siblings are ranked higher.

===Possible complications in the definition===

Complications arise from:

* [[Half-sibling]]s
* Birth parents versus adoptive parents
* Twins or other forms of [[multiple birth]]s
