About this data

Source: ONS, Parents' country of birth, 2025 (Table 7)

• The total fertility rate is the average number of children a woman would have over her lifetime if she experienced the birth rates of each age group in that year. It is a summary of a single year's birth rates, not a count of how many children women actually have.
• ONS publishes these rates only for census years, when it has reliable counts of women by country of birth. It does not publish fertility rates by ethnic group.
• Countries shown are among the most common countries of birth of mothers in England and Wales, and some others for comparison.
