Although birth rates, fertility rates, and family sizes have fallen over last century, there has been a slight increase in births since 2001
1 reason for this = increase of immigration - mothers from outside UK tend to have higher fertility rate. Their babies accounted for 25% of all births in 2011
Up to 2041, its expected that the annual number of births will be fairly constant at around 800,000 per year
