The recent decline in period fertility in England and Wales: Differences associated with family background and intergenerational educational mobility

John Ermisch

Summary: During the period 2010-20, the fertility rate in England and Wales reached its lowest point ever recorded. This study aims to enhance our understanding of the decline in period fertility by examining two dimensions: the influence of a woman's parents' education (family background) and the impact of a woman's own education in relation to her parents' education (intergenerational educational mobility). The analysis reveals a significant decrease in fertility rates across all education groups, whether defined by the education of the woman's parents or by the woman's own education relative to that of her parents. Considering both parents' and women's education together allows for a better differentiation of fertility trends compared to analyzing each generation's education separately. The study also shows a narrowing of Total Fertility Rate disparities over the decade, although timing differences still persist.
