Birth-Rate
the proportion of births in a given number of inhabitants. For some years it has been evident to students of vital statistics that the birth-rate was steadily decreasing in nearly all European countries.
Table No. 1 gives the births and birthrates in the birth registration area of the United States from 1915 to 1918, inclusive. The registration area includes only those States in which such records are kept. Table No. 2 gives the birthrate in the United Kingdom for the years 1913, 1917, and 1918. These years are selected in order to show the effect of the World War on the birth-rate in Great Britain. Birth-rates for other countries since the end of the World War are not available, but it may be stated in general that the effect of the war was to reduce greatly the rate in all countries which participated in it.
