In the years after the war the problem of population and especially
the birth-rate movements excited general interest in all countries.
In the Netherlands also all kinds ot scientific men occupied
themselves with this subject; not only economists, sociologists and
theologians but also medical men studied the population problem in
all its various aspects. It has appeared that it is only possible
to obtain a complete analysis of the population problem by making a
careful scientific investigation of every part of it. Evidently
this was also the author's conception of the problem. By examining
25000 families he submitted the birth-rate movement of a large town
to a scientific investigation. Neither political nor religious or
other than scientific motives prompted him in undertaking this
work; the examination was begun and ended quite objectively which
lends this book its value. For only an objective examination of
s~tch a complex phe- nomenon like the birth-rate movement is of
importance for science. The examination was inspired by the working
program of the I nterna- tional Union for the scientific
Investigation of Population Problems. It produces surprising
results and shows in figures how natality presented itself in a
metropolis like Rotterdam during the last fifty years. It is to be
hoped that this study may be followed by many similar in-
vestigations, also for the country.
