In 2024, births to White British individuals in England fell to 53.62%, marking the lowest percentage ever recorded. This decline is part of a broader demographic shift in the region.
Births to Asian parents surged to 17.48%, nearing a total of 100,000 births, with the current count at 99,222. Additionally, the percentage of mixed-ethnicity births reached 7.02%, one of the highest rates in the West.
In Wales, White British births accounted for 56.59% of total births in 2024. However, this figure is expected to be much higher, potentially exceeding 82%, as the majority of births categorized as "Not Stated" are likely to be White British.
While births to minority ethnic groups continued to rise, the pace of this increase has slowed compared to trends observed in England.
