Four in 10 Babies Born in Britain Have Foreign-Born Parents: ONS
In 2024, 40.4% of babies born in Britain had at least one foreign-born parent, up from 35.1% in 2021, according to the Office for National Statistics.
London led with 84.4% of births to foreign-born parents, followed by Brent at 83.9%.
33% of all births in England last year were to foreign-born mothers, with Indian mothers accounting for 4.4% of these births, as reported by the ONS.
Migration expert Nuni Jorgensen noted that the rise in births to migrant parents is linked to more people moving to the UK, as younger adults tend to have more children.
