  • Summary

    This chapter presents a discussion between experts on demographics. They discuss the effect of the prolonged one-child-per-couple policy in China and its economic consequences. Cohort graphs reveal that in the past overseas-born mothers were a very heterogeneous group. Particularly the mothers from India and Pakistan somewhat tended to have births younger and (b) have more births. But what we are seeing now is fewer new births coming in through those mothers. We now have mothers from the accessioncountries who tend to have similar, or lower, fertility, albeit at slightly younger ages than UK-born mothers. Regarding migration and fertility studies, the massive decline in fertility was unanticipated. The sustained low levels of fertility in Europe were unanticipated.
