Professor Says Social, Not
Economic Conditions In
dicate Decrease Fer
tility Long On Downtrend
LONDON. (UP) Th population
tit the world will cense to Increase
and will begin to decline within ten
years from now, and the decline may
be aa much as two millions after
the turn of the century.
This startling prophecy was made
by Prof. A. M. Carr-Saunders of uv-
erpool university In a recent lecture.
He said the population 01 tne iu
ture would almost certainly be less
than that which we were led to an
ticipate by attending only to the In
fluence of births and deaths. He
based his conclusions on the trend
of oclologlcal conditions.
We do not know what view men
will hold In the future about the
desirable size of the family." he said.
"All we can do Is to note bow men
have been behaving in the Immedi
ate past, to examine the reasons for
their conduct, and to asK whetner
Vie same motives are likely to Influ
ence them in the future.
"We find that fertility has been
steadily declining for over half i
. century and that It continues to de
cline to this day.
"There la no reason whatever to
connect this decline with special
economic conditions. It has been as
well marked in young, sparsely pop
ulated, agricultural countries over
seas as In the old densely populated,
urbanized countries of western Europe.
"T,he evidence goes to show that
the decline is a social phenomenon;
it has spread over Just that group
of countries which allow the same
social habits whatever their econom
ic conditions may be. The reasons
for adopting the small family habit
are many.
"We have no grounds for expect
ing an Increase In the size of the
family In the near future. On the
contrary. It does not seem that fer
tility has yet reached its lowest
point.
"Let us suppose, however, that fer
tility declines no further and sta
bilises at Its present strength, then
It is easy to show that In a few
years the death rate, on the as
sumptions made above, will rise, and
will first equal and then exceed the
birth rate, even If the average size
of the family declines no further. -
"The population, In other words,
will cease to Increase and will begin
to decline within ten years from now,
and the decline may be as much as
two millions after the turn of the
century.
"In deciding the size of their fami
lies, men are guided by personal
const derations, and not by the needs
of .the community. These personal
considerations are not at all selfish;
parents may and do decide to limit
their families because they know
they. can do more for their children
If they are few In number.
. "But there can be no doubt that
selfish motives predominate, and
that children are very often not
wanted because they consume time
and money which married couples
prefer to spend on themselves,
whether in the pursuit of mere en
joyment or of personal ambition.
"At the moment, thlls form t
selfishness Is not out of harmony
with communal needs. But It may
soon become so. Thon It may prove
hard to eradicate a habit which haa
become deep set, because, while It
panders to selfishness, It did not
appear to be antl-soclal when in
the formative stage
"Everyone," Professor Carr-Saunders
concluded, "Is willing to applaud
the father of the numerous family,
but he prefers to remain less en
cumbered himself." !
