Fertility of Immigrants
Hitherto, very little accurate information has been available
concerning immigrants and their fertility although it is generally
understood that not only are their completed families larger but
that, age for age, they have a higher fertility rate than the native
population.
As a result of Regulations introduced by the Registrar-General
on 1st April, 1969, birth registration must now indicate the birthplace
of the parents. Following these changes, an analysis of
births registered in the 2nd and 3rd quarters of the current year
was undertaken by the R.G.'s department and the accompanying
table has been compiled to show the situation as revealed in
Greenwich.
