This paper presents estimates of the level and trend of the fertility of different ethnic minorities in the UK from the 1960s up to 2006. The fertility estimates are derived primarily from the Labour Force Survey using the Own-Child method, with additional information from the General Household Survey and vital registration data. Comparisons are made between the level of fertility of UK-born and immigrant mothers from minority groups, and the fertility of the populations in the country of origin. Total fertility in all groups has fallen from levels that were initially relatively high. That of some UK ethnic groups has already fallen to about the level of the UK national average (e.g., black Caribbean) or below it (e.g., Indian and Chinese). Only among Pakistani and Bangladeshi women does total fertility remain substantially above the national average despite a continuous decrease over the last 20 years.
本文估计了英国不同少数民族在 20 世纪 60 年代至 2006 年期间的生育率水平和趋势。生育率估计主要来自劳动力调查，使用自有子女法，同时还利用了一般家庭调查和人口登记数据中的附加信息。对英国出生的母亲和少数族裔移民母亲的生育率水平进行了比较，并与原籍国的人口生育率进行了比较。所有群体的总生育率都从最初相对较高的水平下降。一些英国少数民族群体的生育率已经下降到英国全国平均水平（例如，加勒比黑人）或以下（例如，印度人和中国人）。只有在过去 20 年中持续下降的情况下，巴基斯坦和孟加拉国妇女的总生育率仍然大大高于全国平均水平。
