The ONS have published a Report looking at: The changing composition of families over time, comparing the fertility of women of the same age and the number of children they have had.

Perhaps we may hope the absolute hames that the ONS made of the 2021 Census taught them the importance of accurately gathering data that can be disaggregated by sex…
