 　　Listen to August 19th 2010 to hear about more babies born in New Zealand.

　　It is interesting that more women these days are deciding not to have children. The last census1, in 2006, showed 13% of women aged2 between 45 and 49 were childless whereas in 1981, 9% of women in this age group had no children.
　　You might also like to listen to Birth Statistics to hear about statistics 5 years ago and New Zealand becoming more multi-cultural to hear about babies of mixed ethnicity.
　　Vocabulary
　　?census: counting people every 5 years (because of the Christchurch earthquake in Feb 2011, the March 2011 census was postponed3 for 2 years)
　　?childless – having no children
　　?whereas – but, comparing two things
