| Sumario: | A study was conducted to estimate birth probabilities by combining registration-system and survey data. Data were gathered from combining panel survey data and birth registration data to estimate annual birth probabilities by parity. The results reveal that the general fertility rate obtained from registration-system data constrained the weighted sum of parity-specific birth probabilities, and the variances in relation to the parity-specific birth probabilities were halved when registration-system data were employed to constrain the estimates. |
