Illustrated in the line graph was how UK fertility rate of women altered in 6 distinct age groups between 1973 and 2008.
All in all, the highest figures throughout the time frame belonged to women aged 25-29. While the birth rate of females aged 35-39 and those of under 20 age exchanged their positions since 1995, the others hung on to their original positions towards the end.
To put it specifically, women in age group ranging from 25 to 29 accounted for the highest percentages, which followed a downward oscillation and bottomed at nearly 60% in 1988. In contrast, the UK witnessed a mild decline in the figures for senior females, which did not exceed 10%, making them the smallest birth rates as registered.
While the rate of women whose ages were under 20 fell slightly, the females in 35-39 age group had the proportions moving onwards to surpass the former in 1985, ranking fourth in the graph. Similarly, the rate of birth of those aged 20-25 and 30-35 had opposite tendencies but remained stable at around 48% and 42% respectively in the last 5 years.
