You asked
What is the most detailed dataset you can provide to analyse the relationship between parents' and children's ages? We are interested in the age bands of parents and the ages of their children.
We said
Thank you for your request.
Unfortunately, we don't hold any standard outputs that look at the relative ages of parents and children living in families specifically. However, Table 5 in the associated download is from our Live births series and includes live births by age of mother and father at registration, which may be helpful.
We could explore the creation of a bespoke output showing this this data or something similar via our bespoke services. These services are subject to disclosure controls, resources, legal frameworks, and an agreement of costs in line with our Charging Policy. If you would like to discuss a bespoke request further please contact pop.info@ons.gov.uk.
