According to 2008 data from the National Office of Statistics, birth rates tend to be higher in lower socio-economic classes than in higher ones. For example, of the mothers giving birth in 2008, 12-15 percent of those in socio-economic classes 6 and 7 (fathers in sem-routine or routine occupations) already had three or more children, compared with 5-6 percent for fathers in higher managerial and professional occupations (SE class 1) and 8 percent for 'intermediate' occupations (Class 3). Generally, the proportion of mothers with one or two children declines with increasingly low socio-economic class whilst the proportion with 3 or more increases.
