Britain and America come between Germany and France in birth-rates and have
comparatively low death-rates. For a simple comparison between private lives these
rates are based on general population and take no account of age grouping. But more
babies than coffins does not mean that the increase in population is going to continue.
That depends on the proportion of women of reproductive age and their fertility.ae and Divorce

For every 200 of the population eleven or twelve persons were in 1930 engaged on
personal services in Britain, but only seven or eight in America. The difference is
least in catering, hairdressing, laundries, and other commercial jobs; greatest in
private employment in the home. The proportion of cooks, housemaids, and other
domestics to total population is in Britain almost twice the American proportion—as
seven to four.
