Mothers in 30's Boost Population

The UK's population is growing as more women have babies in their 30's. The Office for National Statistics says an analysis of population and migration projections reveal a long term reversal in falling fertility. Previously published figures show two thirds of recent population rises are due to migration factors. The OHS says the UK is witnessing the fastest growth in population since the l960's and part of the jump is due to rising fertility among all women.
