Demographic data on fertility and intermarriage are useful measures of integration and assimilation. This paper reviews trends in total fertility and intermarriage of foreign populations in Europe and compares them with the trends in fertility of the host population and the sending country. In almost all cases fertility has declined. The fertility of most European immigrant populations and of some West Indian and non-Muslim Asian populations has declined to a period level at or below that of the host society. Muslim populations from Turkey, North Africa and South Asia have shown the least decline. Intermarriage is proceeding faster than might be expected in immigrant populations which seemed in economic terms to be imperfectly integrated. Up to 40% of West Indians born in the UK, for example, appear to have white partners as do high proportions of young Maghrebians in France.
有关生育率和异族通婚的人口数据是衡量融合与同化程度的有用指标。本文回顾了欧洲外国人口的总和生育率及异族通婚趋势，并将其与东道国人口和移民输出国的生育率趋势进行比较。几乎在所有情况下，生育率都有所下降。大多数欧洲移民人口以及一些西印度和非穆斯林亚洲人口的生育率已降至或低于东道国社会的同期水平。来自土耳其、北非和南亚的穆斯林人口下降幅度最小。异族通婚的进展比预期要快，而这些移民人口在经济方面似乎并未完全融入。例如，在英国出生的西印度人中有高达40%的人似乎有白人伴侣，法国的年轻马格里布人也有很大比例是这种情况。
