According to recent data, Albania has risen to the top ten most frequent places of birth for both mothers and dads born outside the United Kingdom.
Albania is now the seventh most frequent place of birth for women born outside the UK, according to annual birth figures for England and Wales released last year.
In addition, the non-EU nation is now the sixth most frequent place of birth for dads born outside the UK.
It is the first time Albania has been included among the top ten most popular destinations for both non-UK moms and dads.
Romania is now the most prevalent place of birth for women born outside the UK, according to new statistics from the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
Births to Polish moms saw the greatest drop in 2021, falling 8.6 percent.
Pakistan is the most prevalent country of birth for dads born outside the UK.
Births to dads born in Poland had the greatest reduction, falling by 10.3 percent between 2020 and last year.
Since 2015, the percentage of births to Polish-born dads has been falling.
According to a military intelligence analysis seen by the Mail on Sunday, four out of every ten migrants crossing the Channel in tiny boats in recent weeks have come from Albania.
It was discovered that 1,075 Albanians crossed the Channel in tiny boats over a six-week period this summer, accounting for almost 40% of those identified as attempting the risky passage.
According to ONS statistics, more than one-third (34.2%) of all children born in England and Wales last year had either one or both parents born outside the UK.
This was down from 34.8 percent in 2020.
In 2021, the percentage of births in England and Wales to women born outside the UK declined to 28.8%, down from 29.3% in 2020.
According to the ONS, this was attributed to a larger number of births to UK-born mothers.
Last year, there were 445,055 births to UK-born women, compared to 179,726 births to moms born elsewhere.
In 2021, there were 11,031 more births to UK-born women than in 2020.
The overall number of births for women born outside the UK remained comparable to the level recorded in 2020.
However, there existed a distinction between England and Wales.
The percentage of births in England to women born outside the country fell from 30.2% in 2020 to 29.6% in 2021.
The percentage of births in Wales to women born outside the UK climbed from 11.8% in 2020 to 12.4% last year.
Total fertility rates for UK-born women in England and Wales grew to 1.54 children per woman in 2021, up from 1.49 children per woman in 2020.
Total fertility rates for non-UK born women remained unchanged at 2.03 children per woman.
