..Migrants have helped push Britain�s birth rate up to one of the highest levels in Europe.
Women here are now likely to have an average of just under two children � a level exceeded only in two of the other 27 European Union countries.
A decade ago, before large-scale immigration had a major impact on birth rates, Britain was firmly in the middle of the European table.

Britain in bloom: Women in the UK are now likely to have an average of just under two children - a level exceeded only in two of the other 27 European Union countries
Since then, high fertility levels among migrants and a rapid rise in birth rates among women born here have helped push up the population faster than almost everywhere else in Europe.

Figures released by the EU�s statistical arm Eurostat show the British birth rate � an average of 1.98 children per woman � had raced ahead of those in Belgium, Denmark, Luxembourg, Malta, Holland and Finland by 2010. All six had higher birth rates than the UK in 2000.

TOP 10 FERTILITY RATES
(NUMBER OF CHILDREN FOR EACH WOMAN)
1.Ireland 2.07

2.France 2.03

3.UK 1.98

4.Sweden 1.98

5.Denmark 1.87

6.Finland 1.87

7.Netherlands 1.79

8.Estonia 1.63

9.Luxembourg 1.63

10.Slovenia 1.57
.Only women in France, with a birth rate just ahead of ours at 2.03, and Ireland, at 2.07, have more children.
Just over 723,000 babies were born in England and Wales in 2010, up from fewer than 600,000 in 2000. The average number of children each woman is likely to have has gone up from 1.64.
The main reason for the increase was immigration, with many migrants of child-bearing age, and with many from cultures where larger families are more common.
The rising birth rate is also partially attributed to those born here in the 1960s and 70s having children later because they have been focusing on careers.
Having children has for many also been delayed by the need for a couple to maintain two incomes to cover mortgage and other costs.
Other European countries where birthrates have fallen have accepted fewer numbers of migrants than Britain and have not so far shown the same resurgence in baby numbers among women who in recent years have been delaying childbirth.
France has had higher birth rates than Britain since the 1990s and its fertility levels are also pushed upwards by the arrival of high numbers of immigrants.

Most recent figures show British birthrates have remained steady since 2010.

The Office for National Statistics said this may be because of �Government policy and the economic climate indirectly influencing individuals� decisions around childbearing and therefore affecting the number of births.�

However it added: �The combined effect of multiple government policies and the changing economic climate does not have a clear impact on fertility in a particular direction.�

High birth rates in Britain are generally reckoned to be responsible for around 30 per cent of population increase.

The growing population, especially in the south, has made England the most crowded country in Europe, except for tiny Malta.

Miogrants do not class themselves as British, they don't want to be British and they do not want to live the British way. Many cannot and do not want to learn English.When they get their houses and free handout's they must get straight on the phone and say"Get yourselves over here its a right laugh,you can have what you want. give us a couple of weeks and i'll send you the money over for your fare. There is someone who will even get you a job". they even take jobs away from Brits to give to you!!!
THE BRITISH ARE THE BIGGEST FOOLS IN THE WORLD.
