The line graph depicts how many children on average are born to one mother in the UK and Kazakhstan from the years 1920 to 2019, while the table shows the average age at which women give birth to their child in the two countries with the same time period.
Overall, there is a gradual trend for mothers in both countries to delay motherhood and have less children, moreover, it can be observed that women in kazakhstan have more children and have their first born earlier compared to their UK counterparts.
The UK’s average age of child-bearing was 26.5 in 1920, but since then, it has shifted up to 28.9 in 2019. Similarly, nearly a century ago, Kazakhstan’s mean age for the first child birth went from 23.5 to 27.6, increasing from 1920 to 2019 respectively.
For both countries, the mean number of children born from one mother had an upward trend from 1920 to 1960 before slowly falling to lower levels in 2019. In 1920, there were around 2 infants born from a woman in the UK which rose up to nearly 3 in the following years. Likewise, Kazakhstan also saw a rise from below to above 4 children in the same time period. However, both nations saw a drop to almost 2 children and 3 children, respectively.
