Abstract
SummaryCurrent fertility rates of Asian and West Indian immigrant women in Britain are estimated by an indirect procedure. The data on which the estimates are based are the published statistics of registered births, and the 1971 Census country of birth tabulations.It is shown that between 1969 and 1974 the total fertility rate of both groups declined at a faster rate than that of the indigenous population. The estimated total fertility of Asian women is, however, higher than that of West Indian women; the differences can be attributed at least partly to differential timing of migration.The estimates of fertility rates for Asian and West Indian women provide a basis for a more realistic appraisal of local birth data.
