Vital Events Reference Tables 2010
Section 3: Births
Information about the basis of these statistics is available from the Vital Events – General Background Information and the Births – Background Information pages.
Note: the birth rates and fertility rates given in the tables in this section have been superseded. They were produced using the original mid-year population estimates for 2002 onwards, which have been superseded by 'rebased' population estimates which take account of the results of the 2011 Census. Revised versions of most of these figures (which were produced using the 'rebased' population estimates) can be found on this website:
- revised versions of the Vital Events Reference Tables for 2012
- new Births Time-Series Tables
More information about the rebasing of the mid-year estimates, and the consequential temporary break in some of the Vital Events statistics series (such as birth rates and death rates) is available from the Births and Deaths Rates: breaks in series circa 2011 section of this website.
