Crude rates are rates calculated and applied for the entire population disregarding any categories such as gender or age. E.g. crude Birth Rate calculates the total number of births in a year over the total population including men, women and all children (provided they were not born that year).

Specific rates are rates calculated considering categories or subgroups. E.g. birth rate calculates the total number of births in a year over the total number of women of child-bearing age.
