ASSIGNMENT 2

1)      Firstly, according the ONS spokesman, woman over 40 completed family size. But in the 11th paragraph mentions about woman over 40 have babies.

 

2)      -The main reason is more woman are having children in their 30s and 40s.

 

-The traditional nuclear family is still to make a comeback.

 

-The majority of these cohabitations are short lived,many children will grow up in homes where the father is largely absent.

 

-The previously lower birthrates-which produced a generation of one child families- was driven by the move of millions of woman into higher education,careers and property ownership

 

-The tax credits brought in by Gordon Brown in 1999 have also been influential.

 

-Reasons for falling mortality include growing wealth,healthier lifestyles and better medical treatment.

 These claims don't have enough proof to convince readers.

 

3)      Article says that half of borns are outside marriage births. But according to the other comment of ONS %32 borns are ourside marriage births. So there is a overstatement at the percentage.

 

4)      Foreign born women have greater fertility. That might be true;

They might be younger .

They might not get high Education.

They might not establish a career.

 

5)       This is either directly, through the numbers of people coming into the country, or indirectly, through children born to immigrants. Women among the three million immigrants who have arrived in Britain since 1997 are more likely to be of childbearing age than the population as a whole.
