Iowa Population Forecast: Fewer Children By 1980
A study from Iowa State College Agricultural Experiment Station, cited by P K Whelpton, projects population stagnation by 1980. Declining birthrates rise from urbanization and shifting demographics, with urban women bearing fewer children and foreign born white women shrinking from 22.1 to 3.5 percent by 1930, signaling a slowing Iowa growth and fewer young teachers and goods.
