Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Comparison of the Birth Rates of Native and of Foreign-Born White Women in the State of New York During 1916
In the final summary, therefore, it seems obvious that although the preceding tables relate to the single year of 1916 only, there is no ques tion but that the foreign element in the population Of New York State affects the general birth rate in this State to an extraordinary degree.
This particularly applies to the large number of Italians, Russians, Poles and austro-hungarians, the greater number of whom have settled in this co'untry during the past fifteen years, having arrived here for the most part during early adult life, married at an early age and reared large families, the birth of each child following closely upon the preceding one. The majority Of them are still in the most fertile period of life and very few of them are past the reproductive age.
