Excerpt from Report on the English Birthrate, Vol. 1: England North of the Humber The question of how far the employment of married women and a large factory population are associated with a fall in the birthrate is an interesting one, but the difficulties in the way Of an adequate discussion are very great. Occupa tional statistics, except in the 1871 census, are not given for registration districts, but in the 1901 census this information is given for county and municipal boroughs and for the larger urban districts for males and females over 10 years, but as all rural districts and all urban districts of less than 5000 inhabitants are omitted it must be remembered that in all tables giving occupational statistics the results are based in most cases on a portion only of the population in each registration district. III the great industrial centres the part of the dis triot omitted is small and the occupational statistics are Of value, but in one or two cases a further difficulty has arisen. The cities of Liverpool, Manchester and Sheffield and the county borough of Hull include in each case the larger part Of two registration districts, and as the occupational statistics and certain statistics of social condition are given for the city or for the borough these statistics do not necessarily apply to the registration districts; this difficulty is discussed more fully in the general description of each registration district. The occupational statistics are of value if the following facts are borne in mind; first that they must be considered in conjunction with the percentage of the district included in the table, and this is' the most important fact to remember; secondly that the percentages given are the proportion of males or females over 10 years Of age to the whole living population of males or females over 10 years of age, and thirdly that the figures are given for 1901. These last two facts are not repeated in the discussion Of each district; wherever actual percentages of males or females occupied are given they are taken from the 1901 census.
