The source adds the following information: "Family statistics represent a cross-section of the situation at a given moment, i.e. the sizes of families in the country at a given point in time, and not the eventual numbers of children in families. Also, the average number of children in a family with underage children is not directly comparable at different points in time, because the sizes of the age groups at various stages of family life vary".
