The fertility of ethnic minorities in the UK, 1960s-2006
This paper presents estimates of the level and trend of the fertility of different ethnic minorities in the UK from the 1960s up to 2006. The fertility estimates are derived primarily from the Labour Force Survey using the Own-Child method, with additional information from the General Household Survey and vital registration data. Comparisons are made between the level of fertility of UK-born and immigrant mothers from minority groups, and the fer…
New Europe, new diversity
ObituaryEugene Grebenik, 1919–2001
Populations of the industrial world — a convergent demographic community
Europe's populations have emerged from a long period of demographic transition. The old demographic anciens regimes no longer exist. The end‐point of demographic transition is often assumed to be convergence to a new stable post‐transitional regime. Convergence in demographic characteristics among all European countries might be expected to follow their acquisition of common economic and social structures. Remaining differences would then merely …
Distinctive features of age-specific fertility profiles in the English-speaking world: Common patterns in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United States, 1970-98
The paper seeks to identify common features in the fertility patterns of the English-speaking world and provide a model basis for comparison of fertility between countries and over time. Attention is focused on the heterogeneity within the fertility patterns of Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United States, similar to that reported earlier for the UK and the Irish Republic. The recent age-specific fertility patterns of these countries dis…

Recent European fertility patterns: Fitting curves to ‘distorted’ distributions
Recent patterns of fertility in Europe show marked differences between countries. Recent United Kingdom and Irish fertility curves show 'distortions' in terms of a 'bulge' in early age fertility, distinct from the smoother curves of other European countries. These patterns may not be adequately described by mathematical functions used by previous studies to model fertility curves. A mixture model with two component distributions may be more appro…
International Migration: Demographic and Socioeconomic Consequences in the United Kingdom and Europe
People of non-European origin from Commonwealth countries have predominated in postwar immigration to the United Kingdom. That migration neutralized the previously dominant pattern of emigration and increased U.K. population by about 3 million people through immigration and higher fertility, with only slight effects upon the age distribution. Overall economic consequences have never been comprehensively evaluated but are probably minor. Social ef…

Trends in fertility and intermarriage among immigrant populations in Western Europe as measures of integration
Demographic data on fertility and intermarriage are useful measures of integration and assimilation. This paper reviews trends in total fertility and intermarriage of foreign populations in Europe and compares them with the trends in fertility of the host population and the sending country. In almost all cases fertility has declined. The fertility of most European immigrant populations and of some West Indian and non-Muslim Asian populations has …
The new housing policy — a critique
This paper considers whether the Housing Act 1988 and other recent housing measures will succeed in their aims. The 1988 Act is necessary for the revival of private renting and the diversification of choice for low income tenants. But it is unlikely to be sufficient; too many reforms are needed for one Bill. Substantial transfers from council tenure are unlikely until local authority housing finance is reformed by the next housing Act. A long‐ter…

Marital Distance and Its Geographical Orientation in England and Wales, 1979
A representative sample of just over one thousand marriages solemnized in England and Wales in 1979 is used to analyse the distribution of the distances between the partners' addresses at marriage....according to various social and demographic variables also derived from the same source. Comparison with other surveys suggests that marriages in which both partners give the same address are likely to be those of couples who cohabit before marriage.…
The effect of socio-economic class, regional origin and other variables on marital mobility in Britain 1920–1960
A survey carried out by the Population Investigation Committee in 1959-1960 provides nationwide data on the marital mobility of marriage cohorts from 1920 to 1960. These mobility data are analysed by socio-economic class, religious affiliation and regional origin. After adjustment for the influences of covariates, the most important factors affecting mobility were the socio-economic class of wife's father, husband and husband's father in that ord…
Some genetical inferences from the marriage system of Reading, Berkshire, and its surrounding area
A survey of marriages celebrated in 1972/73 in Reading, Berkshire, and its urban field was carried out in 1974. It provided information about the birthplace of husband and wife and of their parents, about their joint home after marriage, and on their social class origins. These data were used to produce a migration-matrix showing the probability of movement from one part of the area (and the outside world) to all the other parts of the area. A mo…
Immigrants and Minorities in British Society
This book, first published in 1978, examines the debate over immigration into Britain and raises the important point that the existence in the country of immigrant and minority groups is nothing new. Britain has, in fact, attracted newcomers throughout most of its history and it is to remedy the deficiency of research and knowledge about these early immigration processes that the present volume has been put together. Composed of a number of essay…
A study of marriage and mobility in Reading, England
Survey of recently married couples was carried out in Reading, Berkshire, UK in 1974. Its purpose was to provide information about the geographical and social origins of marriage partners, and to show how the town's social and geopraphical features might influence marital choice. A list marriage certificate was preferred to the electoral register as a sample frame. Despite a lower than usual response rate the method was judged successful. Basic d…

A Study of the Spatial Aspects of Partner Choice from a Human Biological Viewpoint
The geography of marriage in Britain, 1920–1960
In 1959 the Population Investigation Committee at the London School of Economics instituted a nationwide survey of attitudes of marriage, contraception and family size. Questions were also asked about the birthplace of the partners and where they were living when they first met each other. These four place names provide the basis for marital mobility data whose geographical distribution is described here. A simple model of marital mobility is pre…
Marriage and mobility in Britain—Secular trends in a nationwide sample
A nationwide sample survey of 2338 married couples provides information on the birthplaces and residences at meeting of couples first married between 1920 and 1960. Four measures of marital mobility are analysed according to year of marriage and year of first meeting. In their original form all measures show the expected increase in mobility from the 1920s to the 1930s with an exceptionally steep rise in the 1940s and a decline after the Second W…
