Fertility rate in the United Kingdom 2022

The total fertility rate in the United Kingdom saw no significant changes in 2022 in comparison to the previous year 2021 and remained at around 1.57 children per woman. Nevertheless, this was the first time during the observed period that the fertility rate increased in the United Kingdom.
The total fertility rate is the average number of children that a woman of childbearing age (generally considered 15 to 44 years) can hypothetically expect to have throughout her reproductive years. As fertility rates are estimates (similar to life expectancy), they refer to a hypothetical woman or cohort, and estimates assume that current age-specific fertility trends would remain constant throughout this person's reproductive years.
