The size and structure of Glasgows child population has fluctuated with the citys fortunes. Glasgow grew rapidly during the 19th and early 20th century with the childrens population peaking at over 310,000 in 1921. Since this high point, the number of children in Glasgow has dropped substantially to 99,938 in 2018, and while in 1951 children made up a quarter of Glasgow’s population, now children only represent 16% of the total population.
Births and birth rates have followed similar downward trajectories in the last 90 years, although it is notable that birth rates in Glasgow have risen slightly over the last ten years. The infant death rate, which was extremely high in the 1850s - when one in five children died in their first year of life - has reduced steadily over the last 160 years. In 2018, the infant death rate in Glasgow stood at 4.4 per 1,000 live births.
Much of Glasgow’s population is known to be more deprived than the rest of Scotland. This is reflected in the city’s child population: 39% of Glasgow’s 100,000 children live in the 10% most deprived areas of Scotland, while only 4% live in the least deprived 10% of areas within Scotland. The proportion of children living in Glasgow’s neighbourhoods varies substantially from 6% - 23%.
This section of Understanding Glasgow is concerned with the size and structure of Glasgows child population. It includes child population trends, births, comparisons with other cities and across Glasgow’s neighbourhoods, and projections of births and the child population over the next 25 years.
Targets and strategies in relation to the population are summarised and sources of more detailed demographic information are highlighted in a resources section. Notes on the data used in this section are summarised. Trends and patterns in Glasgows overall population are described within the main set of Glasgow indicators.
