Source & definition: Live births in England & Wales by mother's country of birth (ONS). Shares computed from total vs births to mothers born outside the UK.

Each country's statistical office defines “migrant background” differently (mother's citizenship, country of birth, or parents' origin), so figures are not directly comparable across countries and may be out of date. Always check the cited source for the latest official numbers.
