1/4 of children born in the UK are born to immigrant mothers

[Peterski]

Data from page 2: http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/dcp171766_283876.pdf

In 2001, 15% of all newborns were born to immigrant mothers.

In 2011, a decade later, already 24% were born to immigrants.



In the currrent year Anno Domini 2018 it is probably closer to 1/3.

Edit:

Here is 2016 data (Figure 5: Live births by ethnic group, 2016):

Edit:

In Brent, 76% of births are Non-British:

Edit:

Median age of Native White British population is older than median age of immigrants:



This makes sense - old people don't migrate, so immigrants are on average younger than natives.

Do they break it down by European and non-European ethnicities?

I guess it's just how it is now for UK.

Questions for British people: How many (if any) ethnic English/Irish/Scottish etc. move out of the Isles because of the immigration? Or do a lot of them choose to stay within their native country? Or does it even bother them?

[Peterski]

I guess it's just how it is now for UK.

It means that there is an ongoing, accelerating population replacement in the UK.

Also remember that children of 2nd generation or 3rd generation immigrants are not included.

That statistics includes only first generation (born abroad) immigrant mothers.

That is probably because Poland joined the EU and millions of Polish workers flocked to the UK.

Poland accounts just for 23,000 UK babies born in 2011 (out of 808,000) so less than 3%.

You still have 173,000 babies born to Non-Polish immigrants, or over 21% of all births.

Do they break it down by European and non-European ethnicities?

Table 7: Top ten countries of birth for non-UK born mothers of live births in the UK, 2011:

Non-European:

Pakistan - 19,200
India - 15,500
Bangladesh - 8,500
Nigeria - 7,900
Somalia - 5,700
South Africa - 4,800
China - 4,100

European:

Poland - 23,000
Germany - 5,600
Lithuania - 4,200

The total number of babies born to non-UK born mothers in the UK in 2011 was 196,000.

There was also 612,000 births to UK born women. For the total of 808,000 births in 2011.

Polish diaspora tend to cling unto their Polskość for generations.

Polish diaspora tend to cling unto their Polskość for generations.

Well, "visible minorities" do not assimilate so easily. That's why.

[Norb]

I would multiply these statistics by at least 2

Polish-Americans are there since 1854 (actually, since 1608 in Jamestown*) and still cling to their Polskość:
