The line graph delineates several changes in the birth rate of women in the UK in five different age brackets between 1973 and 2008. Overall, the figures for the 30 to 35 and 35 to 39 age groups experienced an upward trend while the reverse pattern could be seen in the data for the remaining age brackets. Moreover, women aged 25 to 29 had the highest percentage while those who were 40 and over documented the lowest rate.
Concerning the three most noticeable age groups, in the first year, the data for women who were 25 to 29 was the highest at 140 birth per 1000 individuals. Then, it decreased by 20 units in 1983 before slightly recovering to approximately 135 in 1993. Then, the rate moderately decreased to under 120 in 1998 and remained unchanged in 2003 before negligibly rising to 120 in the final year. Moreover, the 20 to 25 age group constituted the second highest position at around 125, followed by the 30 to 35 age bracket initially. After that, while the former steadily decreased and hit its lowest point of around 90 in 2008, the latter gradually rose and reached the highest point of approximately 85 in the final year.
Regarding the remaining categories, in 1973, women under 20 recorded the third highest data at 60, followed by the 35 to 39 age group at 40, while the oldest age bracket registered the lowest rate at 20. Subsequently, the figure for the youngest and oldest women witnessed a steady decrease and hit their lowest points of 40 and around 10 in the last year, whereas the remaining age group negligibly rose to about 42 in 1988 before sharply increasing to around 65 in 2008.
