One is biological: with improving living standards, the percentage of women who were able to have children increased. There are several reasons for the increase in birth rates. In the Victorian era, fertility rates increased in every decade until 1901, when the rates started evening out. By the start of the twentieth century this had completely reversed with only 22% living in rural areas whilst urban areas contained 78% of the population. At the turn of the century 66% of population lived in rural areas and just 34% in urban areas. Graph showing the huge change in the population of England and Wales during the nineteenth century.
