French term or phrase: fécondité cumulée et ses différentielles

I'm wondering here if by "différentielles" they don't mean "differential fertility"... Can anyone help ?

Here's the bigger context:

"Il sera question d’analyser la fécondité du moment, la **fécondité cumulée et ses différentielles** selon les caractéristiques de la femme. On y abordera la fécondité achevée des femmes à la fin de leur vie reproductive. Ensuite on enchaînera sur la fécondité cumulée, son niveau et ses éventuelles disparités.

Thanks in advance,

Dana

current birth rate, lifetime birth rate, and the differences between them

Hello,

cumulée = lifetime (accumulated)

ses différentielles = the differences between these two rates (margin of difference, etc)

I hope this helps.

"La fécondité" usually refers to "taux de fécondité."

cumulée = over a lifetime

Notes to answerer

Asker: wouldn't it be LEURS différentielles if it was referring to the difference between the two?

Asker: Fécondité / Fértilité and faux amis, each one is translated in English as the other when in a demographics context. However for medical I believe fecundité = fécundity.
