Lowest chance of being born in

Understand lowest chance of being born in: what the measure counts, how to read it and where to check the source.

Imagine choosing one birth at random from all births in a year. The chance of selecting a country depends on its number of births, not simply on how fast its population is growing. A large population with moderate fertility can produce more births than a small population with very high fertility. Migration changes population totals, but it is not part of this particular count.
