Births by parents' characteristics in England and Wales: 2019
We originally planned to release two bulletins one of which would be on parents’ characteristics. Instead, we combined the two releases into one. Therefore, we will be publishing one bulletin and two tables for birth characteristics and parents’ characteristics.
Summary
Annual live births in England and Wales by age of mother and father, type of registration, median interval between births, number of previous live-born children and National Statistics Socio-economic Classification (NS-SEC).
