This reference volume presents statistics on live and still births occurring annually in England and Wales. Statistics for births in previous years are included to show trends in fertility. The publication covers birth counts and birth rates tabulated by, among other attributes, parents' age, occurrence within or outside marriage, multiple births, mother's area of residence and country of birth, place of confinement, and father's social class (defined by occupation). Information on the sex ratio and birthweight is also included. The volume also presents statistics on conceptions, including tables looking at women's age at conception and whether the conception led to a maternity or an abortion.weiterlesen
