Migrant babies push Germany's birth rate to 33-yr high
Germany's birthrate has risen to its highest level in 33 years at 1.5 births per woman, boosted by babies born to migrant women, officials said. The birthrate among migrant women was 1.95, while it was 1.43 among Germans. The figure is still lower than 2.0 births per woman, defined as the fertility rate required for populations to replace themselves.
