Changing Face of Family Life and Fertility in England and Wales in 2022

Latest figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) give important insight into the changing face of family life and fertility in England and Wales. They show that for the first time last year (2021), more babies were born outside of marriage in England and Wales than within marriage. They also show long-term trends in decreasing live births and increasing later-life parenthood as more people delay having children to focus on their careers. These trends indicate growing acceptance of non-traditional family building and family forms in England and Wales.
