More than four in ten children born last year in England had at least one foreign-born parent, according to figures from the Office for National Statistics.

In 2024, there were 594,677 live births recorded in England and Wales, an increase of 0.6 per cent over the previous year, the first rise seen since 2021.

This coincided with an increase in the number of children born with at least one migrant parent in England at 40.4 per cent, compared to 38.2 per cent in 2023. Meanwhile, the percentage of foreign-born parents rose in Wales from 17.5 per cent in 2023 to 19.4 per cent last year.

The release from the ONS also found that 33.9 per cent of all live births in both England and Wales were to non-UK-born women, up from 31.8 per cent in 2023.

The UK’s official statistician found that Indian mothers represented the largest cohort, accounting for 26,146 births last year, or 4.4 per cent. Mothers from Pakistan followed them at 21,524 births, and mothers from Nigeria at 14,671 births.

Mothers from Romania, Bangladesh, Poland, Ghana, Afghanistan, Albania, and Iraq rounded out the rest of the top ten most common countries of origin.
