The Fall of the Birth-Rate (Classic Reprint): A Paper Read Before the Cambridge University Eugenics Society, 20 May 1920 - Softcover
Synopsis
Hook line: An insightful look at why birth rates fell in England and Wales, with data?driven analysis and historical context.
In this early 20th?century study, the author examines civil registration data from 1837 onward to explain changes in the birth rate. The work compares births, marriages, and deaths, notes how registration practices affect the numbers, and places the trends in a broader social and economic setting. It also considers occupational and district differences, and discusses how prices and other factors may influence fertility.
The book presents a careful interpretation of long?term trends, situating the pre?war period in England and Wales and highlighting the limits of the data. It combines tables, charts, and reasoned argument to argue that fertility is influenced by multiple factors, not a fixed national constant.
- How birth rates changed from the mid?19th century to the early 20th century
- The relationship between birth rate, marriage rate, and death rate
- Impacts of registration practices, social class, and occupation on fertility measures
- Possible links between prices, economic conditions, and fertility trends
Ideal for readers of demographic history, economic history, and early eugenics?era social science.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: 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.
