About this title

Synopsis

Historic inquiry into population and policy, with firsthand testimony and analysis

This influential 1920 volume presents the second report of the National Birth-Rate Commission, compiling major evidence and expert discussion on birth rates, population trends, and the social factors shaping them.

It offers a clear window into early 20th‑century debates about family size, public health, and national planning, grounded in real proceedings and testimonies.

Readers will encounter careful questions about mortality, illiteracy, nutrition, and economic conditions, all connected to how a nation thinks about families and the future. The book documents the Commission’s approach to data, policy suggestions, and the tensions among scientists, policymakers, and the public of the era.

• Direct excerpts and dialogue from representatives and experts involved in the inquiry
• Context on how population concerns influenced health, education, and national policy
• Discussion of birth rates, death rates, and factors affecting family size

Ideal for readers of history, public policy, and social science who want a grounded look at how a nation analyzed population change nearly a century ago.
