# עוראָסטאַט: איבער 5.1 מיליאָן בייביז געבוירן אין 2014 - וואָמען ערשטער געווארן מוטערס ביי כּמעט 29 אין דורכשניטלעך

In 2014, 5.132 million babies were born in the European Union, compared with 5.063 million in 2001.

Among member states, France continued to record the highest number of births (819 300 in 2014), ahead of the United Kingdom (775 900), Germany (714 900), Italy (502 600), Spain (426 100) and Poland (375 200).

On average in the EU, women who gave birth to their first child in 2014 were aged nearly 29 (28.8 years). Across member states, first time mothers were the youngest in Bulgaria and the oldest in Italy.

Overall, the fertility rate in the EU increased from 1.46 in 2001 to 1.58 in 2014. It varied between member states from 1.23 in Portugal to 2.01 in France in 2014. A total fertility rate of around 2.1 live births per woman is considered to be the replacement level in developed countries: in other words, the average number of live births per woman required to keep the population size constant in the absence of inward or outward migration.

This information comes from an article issued by Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union. The fertility indicators presented in this news release show only a small part of the large amount of data related to demography available at עוראָסטאַט.
