Births Time Series Data

Last Updated: 6 August 2010

This page contains datasets in Excel format. This data will be particularly useful for users who would like the same data for a series of different years rather than just for one year.

When opening the spreadsheet files your browser, depending on how it's been configured, will prompt to either open the file or save it to disk.

Note 1: Tables are mainly offered for the purposes of extracting figures. Due to the size of some of the files they are not recommended for printing.

Note 2: If you experience difficulty downloading the files. Please contact our Statistics Customer Services using our Contact Form and request a disk with the full file.
