Births and deaths in Kent - 2014
Related information This bulletin presents an analysis of the total number of live births and deaths in Kent and Kent districts during the year 2014. Birth and death rates are also presented to compare Kent with the regional and national average. A 2002 to 2014 time series is also presented.
Summary of findings
During the year 2014 there were 17,305 births and 14,014 deaths in Kent. This resulted in a net gain of +3,291 people due to natural change.
Maidstone saw the largest number of live births in 2014 with a total of 1,979. However, Gravesham had the
highest general fertility rate per 1,000 women aged 15-44 years of 70.6
Thanet had the greatest number of deaths with a total of 1,652 which was also the greatest number of deaths per 1,000 population.
Dartford experienced the greatest positive natural change in population (meaning there were more births than
deaths) with a net gain of +671 people.
Canterbury, Dover, Shepway and Thanet have all seen a negative natural change in 2014 (meaning there were more deaths than births).
Introduction
Every year the number of births and deaths that occur in England and Wales are collated and presented in a data series called “Vital Statistics” by the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
The change in population produced by these natural events is known as “natural change” and relates to the resident population. These figures alone do not

outward migration as well as natural change. The ONS monitor both sets of data and use them to calculate their annual mid-year population estimates.
Total number of births and deaths
Tables 1, 2 and 3 show the total number of births, deaths and subsequent natural change that occurred during 2014, in each local authority district in Kent. Change between 2012 and 2014 plus the 5-year and 34-year average is also shown.
In 2014 there were 17,305 registered births and 14,014 registered deaths in Kent (the Kent County Council area). This resulted in Kent’s population increasing by +3,291 people as a result of natural change alone.

Page 3 Eight of the 12 Kent local authority districts all increased their natural
population in 2014 as a result of more births than deaths. The four remaining districts saw a slight loss in population due to there being more registered deaths than births.
Natural change tends to be lower in East Kent districts such as Dover, Thanet and Shepway due to a higher proportion of elderly population. Despite very healthy birth rates in these areas, the actual number of births tends to be lower in these districts than in other Kent districts. In contrast, the number of deaths in these districts tends to be higher than in other Kent districts. The balance between the two leads to smaller natural change.
Mid and West Kent districts tend to have a younger age profile and for this reason the number of births in these districts (such as Ashford, Maidstone, Dartford and Tunbridge Wells) is typically much higher than the number of deaths leading to higher natural change.
Despite Canterbury having a large young population, the number of births in Canterbury is lower than would be expected for the population profile of the area (this is examined further in the next section on birth and death rates).
This is because Canterbury’s young population largely consists of students who are not likely to be bearing any children. The number of deaths is still quite high in Canterbury because of the older population profile of coastal resorts such as Herne Bay and Whitstable. The number of births is therefore low in relation to the number of deaths, resulting in negative change in 2014.
Since 1981 Kent has seen an average of 16,030 births, and 14,636 deaths each year. This gives an average natural change of an extra +1,394 people each year.
Over the past 34 years the number of deaths in Kent has been falling steadily.
This follows the falling number of deaths throughout England and Wales and is a result of increased life expectancy. The number of births in Kent has fluctuated over the years, which is a characteristic of births in general and therefore not something which is unique to Kent. The number of births in Kent increased throughout the late 1980’s and continued to increase until the mid- 1990’s when they started to fall gradually. Since the start of this decade the number of births has begun to increase again.
The net effect of fluctuating births and declining deaths is positive natural
population change although the extent of this net gain depends on which
cycle of births Kent is experiencing. For example, when births are low, net
natural change is low and when births are higher, net natural change tends to
be higher.
Strategic Business Development & Intelligence, Kent County Council www.kent.gov.uk/research
Page 4 Despite a slight increase in the number of deaths between 2012 and 2014,
they continue to remain lower than they have been in the last 34 years whilst the number of births remains high. As a result we continue to see a positive net natural change in population in Kent
Please see Chart 1 and Tables 1 to 3 for more detail.
Data for the full time series in Excel format is available upon request.
Not all of the 12 Kent local authority districts follow the same pattern of change with births and deaths. There will be some districts experiencing an increase in the number of births whilst others see the numbers fall. Between 2013 and 2014 Canterbury, Thanet and Tunbridge Wells experienced a decrease in the number of births.
Likewise, despite the number of deaths falling steadily for Kent as a whole, five Kent districts saw an increase in the number of deaths between 2013 and 2014. These districts were; Ashford, Canterbury, Dover, Shepway and
Thanet.
The numbers of births and deaths will be affected by the population profile and therefore it is sometimes better to look at birth and deaths rates. Rates put the number of births and deaths into context according to the population size and profile of an area. This is examined further in the next section.

Page 5 Birth and death rates
So far we have only presented the total numbers of births and deaths.
However, this does not take into account the varying population sizes of different areas. An area with a large population is naturally more likely to have a greater number of births and deaths making it difficult to compare with different areas. In order to overcome this, there are two preferred methods of measuring the numbers of births and deaths rather than looking at the total numbers.
For births there is the General Fertility Rate (GFR) and the Total Period Fertility Rate (TFR):
The GFR denotes the number of live births per 1,000 women aged 15 to 44 years in a specific area.
The TFR represents the average number of live children that women in that area would have if they experienced the age-specific fertility rates for the calendar year in question throughout their childbearing lifespan.
The national TFR rate for England & Wales in 2011 is 1.93. Therefore, if an area has a higher TFR than 1.93, then there were more births than would be expected.
For deaths there is the Crude Death Rate (CDR) and the Standardised Mortality Ratio (SMR):
The CDR is the number of observed deaths per 1,000 resident population in a specific area.
The SMR is calculated as the number of observed deaths in an area, divided by the expected number of deaths of that area (if the area had the same population age and sex structure as England & Wales) multiplied by 100. The national SMR for England & Wales is 100.
Therefore, if an area has a higher SMR than 100, then there were more deaths than would be expected.
Table 4 shows both sets of birth and death rates for England & Wales, the
South East region, Kent and all local authority districts within Kent for the year
2014. These rates are presented separately in Charts 2 to 4.
Strategic Business Development & Intelligence, Kent County Council www.kent.gov.uk/research
Page 6 Out of all of the Kent districts in 2014 the highest birth rate (GFR) can be
found in Gravesham. Here there were 70.6 births per 1,000 women aged 15- 44 years, which is equivalent to each female resident in Dartford aged 15-44 having 2.10 children. This is significantly higher than the national average.
In 2014 the lowest birth rate could be seen in Canterbury. The GFR shows that there were 41.3 births per 1,000 women aged 15-44 years compared to 62.1 births for England & Wales.
The TFR shows that women in Canterbury on average experience 1.49 live births compared to 1.83 live births in England & Wales. As explained earlier in this bulletin, Canterbury has a very large student population that contributes largely to the 15-44 year old age group. However, these students are not likely to be having children and therefore the age group 15-44 is artificially high compared to the actual number of births.

What do changing births and deaths mean for Kent?
Increasing births and decreasing deaths in Kent means that the County’s population is growing in size. Current Government projections estimate that the fertility rate will continue to rise and the mortality rate will continue to decline meaning that we can expect to see a continuation of increasing births and decreasing deaths in the future (although this will depend on the
population numbers to which the rates are applied to).
Forecasts produced by Kent County Council explore this issue further. The latest available forecasts can be accessed on the population forecasts page of the Kent County Council website.
An increase in the number of births will place additional pressure on maternity units across the County. In time, it will also place pressure on early-years childcare provision and also schools. However, it is important to have an understanding now of what the County can expect to see in the coming years in order to plan services accordingly.
At a time when the post-war baby boomers are reaching retirement coupled with increased life expectancy and thus fewer deaths, the County’s population is getting older with the ageing population expected to accelerate further in the coming years. An ageing population puts pressure on the Council’s Social Care departments, along with hospital services. It also places pressure on the economy as the ratio of working age people to those of retirement age (the dependency ratio) reduces, meaning there are fewer people to support those of old age impacting on pensions and taxes. As the population
continues to age, the number of deaths will undoubtedly increase in the future despite death rates falling.
There are a number of demographic factors that will have an impact on births and deaths in the future (migration, ethnicity, life expectancy etc.). It is
important for service provision planning that the County Council continues to monitor how births and deaths are changing over time in order to plan
services effectively.
This bulletin will be next updated in Mid-2016, when the data for the year
2015 will be published. For further information on the Office for National
