 * Birthrate Decline 1880- 1913**

In the year 1880 - 1913, birthrates were beginning to decline as the families focused on improving their economic and social position. Thus the results are better mothers to their children. Before hand, mothers did not bond much with their infant due to the high death rates. The families now focus their child’s education and giving them more opportunities. Marriages also began to become faithful between the couple for it is their morals such as a woman’s virginity. Men on the other hand were more freely to experience with outside relationships and prostitution. Prostitution has increased as became very common as it is said in “My secret life,” by Walter.
