Britain relying on foreign mothers to keep fertility rates up
The Telegraph ^ | Wed, January 29, 2025 | Charles Hymas

Britain is relying on foreign-born mothers to push up fertility rates, data has showed.

The fertility rate for foreign-born mothers has increased in the past two years to 2.03 children per woman. This puts it close to the so-called replacement rate of at least 2.1 children per mother, which the UK needs to sustain its population.

However, the foreign-born fertility rate is nearly a third (31 per cent) higher than that of UK-born mothers, whose rate has fallen to just 1.54, which is well below the level needed for population growth and puts it on track for long-term decline.

It means the overall national fertility rate is now 1.6, which is the joint lowest since records began two decades ago and on par with most European nations, where fertility rates have fallen to 1.4. Among the lowest globally are China (1.2), Japan (1.3) and Canada (1.3).

The data, from the Office for National Statistics (ONS), also mirrors its projections on the UK’s population, which showed it would remain static without immigration.

Net migration of 4.9 million will account for the entire rise in the UK population to 72.5 million in 2032. The ONS projected that, between 2022 and 2032, some 9,914,000 people will move to the UK long-term, while 4,978,000 are anticipated to emigrate.

In 2023, one in three babies were born to a foreign-born mother, up from a quarter in 2008, and one in four were born to parents who were both foreign-born.

In more than one in 10 local authorities (33 out of 317), greater than 50 per cent of live births were to foreign-born mothers, rising to 76 per cent in the London borough of Brent and 75 per cent in Newham in east London.

Just turn the public education into boarding schools M-F. That way parents can both put in 60 hour work weeks to pay for it and family time confined to the weekends. It would do away with the multi-tasking going on that puts stress on the family. More kids to pump out. Problem solved.

The goal is to taint the White Anglo Saxon European gene pool and eventually cause White genocide. The utter fools!

60 years ago, we were being told (by the "smart" people) that we had to reduce our fertility rate, or the world would be engulfed in brutal famine. Paul Ehrlich, a professor at Stanford, got rich promoting this idea. He was the darling of the intelligentsia. What a nasty joke. They played us for fools.

Filling up your country up with wogs doesn't count. They are NOT British. They are parasites,
an invasive species. The wog people should be sent to the CECOT prison in El Salvador.

When you study biology you learn populations wax and wane. Like the well known hare and lynx populations.

But I guess British leadership forgot that simple high school lesson.

Only 0.7% of students are in boarding schools. Thought it’ll be more than that.

I don’t know about GB, but in the USA having been through my mothers several divorces, I had no desire to put any of my possible kids through that CRAP!
No man wants to be tossed aside because a woman
has a fit. She has total Legal control over his kids, his house and she then picks up a loser in a bar to keep her happy at night.
That is why we don’t have big families anymore.
Guys have wised up.
The problem is women and laws that aren’t fair.
I don’t like Moslem’s but they keep their women
under control.
Strictly from a re population perspective who is more successful?

#16: "When you study biology you learn populations wax and wane."

Not only biology. Differential equations too.
