More single mums than marriages…
Here’s one for you:
THE number of young women having children has for the first time exceeded the number getting married, official figures revealed yesterday.
A survey of those in Britain aged 25 to 29 found that 24 per cent had tied the knot before 25, while 30 per cent had at least one child.
But of women in their mid-to-late 30s, 45 per cent were married before 25, while only a third were mums. The survey was conducted between 2001 and 2003.
The figures were from the Office for National Statistics in its annual Social Trends study of how Britain is changing.
What a load of balls…
There’s a load of statistics that actually mean didly squat. Why can’t laws be introduced to only allow these things to be used in context with enough data to make them of some use? I guess the Suns article wouldn’t be quite as eye catching with standard deviations thrown in.
