40% of Babies in England Had Foreign-Born Parent in 2024
More than 40% of babies in England – and over two thirds in London – had a parent who was born outside the country in 2024, new figures reveal, as statistics continue to underline the extreme pace of demographic change in Britain. The Mail has the story.
Official data reveal that non-UK-born women accounted for 33.9% of live births in England and Wales in 2024 – up from 31.8% the previous year and the highest on record. In 2009 the level was below a quarter.
Two-fifths of babies [in England] last year had at least one parent who was born in another country.
However, the proportion varied widely between 68% in London, 44.4% in Greater Manchester, 41.2% in the West Midlands and just 22.6% in the North East.
The ONS said there were 594,677 live births in England and Wales in 2024, which represented the first overall increase since 2021.
Births remain at historically low levels, with 2024 ranking as the third lowest total since 1977.
The rise was driven by the West Midlands, where births were up 3.38% and London where they were up 1.8%.
In contrast, numbers were stalled in the South East and down in the North East, South West, East Midlands, and Wales – which saw a 2% dip.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) breakdown also underlined the tendency for women to wait longer before having children.

Another way to look at it: the slow process of a nation committing suicide by not reproducing.
In some ways it’s not surprising.
The underlying ideological trend, prevalent in politics, education, law is leftism, which is a nihilistic, suicidal death cult.
Once you realize that, everything makes sense: the destruction of the family, the nation state, the promotion of mass migration (and even within that a preference for the most violent anti-European cultures), promotion for abortion and euthanasia, doomsday theories (climate crisis).
Give it a few more decades and Britain will be like South Africa.
With Poles running the show.
(Disclaimer, my wife is Polish and so are many of my best friends).
The Poles are not a problem. They are Europeans, they are culturally compatible with Britain.
I work in the high-tech industry and our company would simply collapse without them.
They have been a problem in Wales, though, as Welsh people said about their friends and relatives being made redundant in the construction industry, only to be replaced by Polish workers on a reduced wage.
NO! “Free Birth Tourism” from the Third World is the cause of this explosion in Third World women giving birth in British hospitals for free on the NHS.
Years ago there were news reports of heavily pregnant Ethnic African women arriving at Heathrow and getting a taxi straight to the nearest hospital to await the impending birth at the Taxpayers’ Expense, without even stopping to unpack their suitcases.
The British Establishment set out decades ago to import another electorate – and they’ve succeeded.
They have effectively eradicated the English and England, with eradication of the Scots, Welsh and Irish and their countries also well underway.
No Ethnic European can compete with a government that allows FREE BIRTH TOURISM from the Third World, and a hostile alien cult whose religion sanctions FOUR WIVES FOR EACH MAN, and UNLIMITED WAR CAPTIVES as sex slaves. “War Captives” means “white women & children” in the West. Especially prized are the “Yellow Women” that Mohammed promised to his followers. Yellow-Haired Women & Children, the prime target of Slave Traders even in Roman times, when Hebrew “Traders” followed the Roman Armies into Gaul, paying soldiers ready cash for “War Captives” to be dragged back to Rome and sold. Blond males and females were the most profitable, as their long hair was repeatedly shaved off like sheep, to make blond wigs for wealthy dark-haired Romans.
It would be interesting to know how many of those foreign-born women are married to British men, rather than having come to the UK with or to join their foreign-born spouse.
