Chart Details
Timeframe: 1990-2022
Country: UK
Published date: 2024
Note: The fertility rate, as defined by World Development Indicators, measures the average number of children born to a woman over her lifetime, usually expressed as births per woman.
Key Takeaways
The United Kingdom's fertility rate displayed minor fluctuations, starting at 1.8 in 1990, dropping to 1.6 in 2000, and recovering to 1.9 by the late 2000s. The recovery coincides with improved economic conditions and migration-driven population growth during that period.

After peaking, the rate gradually declined to 1.6 by 2020, where it remained through 2022. Factors such as rising housing costs, career prioritization, and delayed parenthood contributed to this long-term decline, reflecting broader trends in developed countries.
