The young women in England and Wales will probably have only one child when they are 35 years old, according to the revolutionary analysis of the fertility trends of past and projected by the Office for National Statistics (ONS).

The girls who turn 18 this year are expected to have an average of a child each at the age of 35 – unlike the generation of their mothers who had an average of a child for women when they reached 31.

The projections from the on suggest that the birth button in England And Wales will continue to fall, with women who have smaller families after having children later in life compared to previous generations.

The young women who turn 18 this year should have most of their children after being 30 years old, in contrast to previous generations who had had most of their children within that age. Women Born in 1978 he had about half of their children at the age of 30, while their mothers (born in 1951) had had three quarters of their children. The study discovered that in 2023 the average age for a woman to have a child was 30.9.

The figures from Asi showed him The birth rate in England and Wales had fallen to a minimum of all time of 1.44 children per woman in 2023, with The dead exceed births In the United Kingdom for the first time in almost half a century.

There were about 16,300 less than births than the deaths in the UK in the year in the mid -2023, the first time it happened from the “Bust of the Child” of the 70s, if excess deaths are removed during Covid.

The United Kingdom is not an anomalous value: most countries are now lower than the replacement rate of 2.1 children per woman. A relationship by the United Nations Last year he said that “women today have one less child, on average, than in 1990”, and that the world population should now peak at about 10.3 billion in the mid -1920s (from about 8.2 billion today) before starting to go down.

Elon Musk said it Three of birth that falls They are a greater risk for civilization than global warming, while Nigel Farage, he suggested the West He had “forgotten that what is the basis of everything is our Judeo-Christian culture” and that “obviously, we need higher birth rates”.

The analysis released by ASI on Wednesday shows that women who turn 18 this year should have an average of 1.52 children during their lives, in an average of 1.95 children for their mothers and 2.04 children for their grandmothers. It is likely that that figure continues to fall, according to the ONS, with the girls born in 2025 projected to have an average of 1.46 boys throughout their lives.

The first ONS study to combine the analysis of past trends with the fertility models expected provides for a continuation of the trend in which there has been a clear decline in birth rates between 1978 and 2007

“The reasons behind when and if women have children are very personal,” said Kerry Gadsdon of the ONS. “This can be guided by a series of factors including financial pressures and the times of other life events such as the training of partnership and the transfer to their home in general.”
