Methodological aspects

The Births Statistics provide information on the births, deliveries and late foetal deaths of people residing in Catalonia according to their demographic and social characteristics.

The original source of the data is the Statistical Bulletin of Births (BEP), filled in by the parents or persons obliged by law to declare the birth or, if this is not possible, by the civil registrar.

The data include all births of women residing in Catalonia, both those registered in the civil registers of Catalonia and those registered in the civil registers of other autonomous communities. In 2011 and previous years, the data refer only to births of women residing in Catalonia registered in the civil registers of Catalonia.

From 2012 onwards, as well as births by resident mothers taking place within Catalonia, this also includes births by mothers resident in Catalonia taking place in other autonomous communities.

The data are disseminated annually in two phases: provisional data and definitive data, which incorporate a greater exhaustiveness of the file and the filtering of the main variables.

Idescat compiles this statistical operation in collaboration with the INE.
