Steady Birth Decline In Europe Sparks Inquiries
The decline in marriage and birth rates is described as a European-wide trend. England shows a 1% drop in marriages since 1870 and birth rates have fallen steadily since 1894, reaching a record low in 1904. Experts attribute rising living standards and fear of poverty as major factors, with war, poor crops, and emigration only partly explaining the trend.
