Sinopsis
Explore how England and Wales saw a marked fall in birth rates from the 19th into the 20th century, and what that shift reveals about society, economy, and demography.
This work examines birth, marriage, and death trends in England and Wales from 1837 through 1920, using civil registration data and interwar analysis. It situates the birth-rate decline alongside changing mortality, marriage patterns, and social structure, with careful attention to data quality and registration practices.
Readers will see how fertility varied across social classes, occupations, and districts, and how economic factors like prices and employment interacted with marriage and childbearing. The analysis weighs competing explanations and emphasizes data interpretation over simple conclusions, highlighting the limits of early data and the influence of registration reforms.
- Plain, data-driven discussion of birth rates, marriage rates, and infant mortality across decades.
- Discussion of how occupational and district variations relate to fertility.
- Careful consideration of how economic conditions and pricing may influence family size.
- A historical view that links demographic change to broader social and policy contexts of the era.
Ideal for readers of social history, population studies, and economic demography.

Excerpt from The Fall of the Birth-Rate: A Paper Read Before the Cambridge University Eugenics Society, 20 May 1920
The following paper was written for an audience the majority of whom could be expected to possess little or no previous knowledge of the subject. My endeavour was therefore rather to give an exposition of matters already known and views previously expressed than to add anything novel. The paper has been reprinted in the hope that such an exposition may be of service to others. The form in which it was delivered has been retained, with the exception of minor corrections: to explain a phrase which occurs here and there it may be added that copies of the tables were in the hands of the audience.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a statistical insight into the falling birth rate in England and Wales, from 1851 to 1911. The author deals with an array of compelling variables that have influenced the steady decrease, including the steady fall in the marriage rate, improvements in standards of living, and the growth of the feminist movement. The author explores the impact of these factors on the population, questioning the popular view that artificial birth control is the primary cause of declining fertility rates. She concludes that fertility might be naturally depressed by societal conditions, challenging conventional wisdom on the subject.
