Overview
Explore the Demographic Transition in Europe through this comprehensive lecture from Yale University's Global Problems of Population Growth course. Delve into the historical methods of fertility control in northwestern Europe, including marriage regulation by landowners and churches. Examine the shift from community-controlled to individual-controlled fertility as contraception became accepted. Analyze the rapid fertility decline in Europe between 1870 and 1930, and consider the difficulties in proving its socioeconomic basis. Investigate the Princeton European Fertility Project's argument for cultural transmission of new social norms. Understand the profound impact of the Demographic Transition, including a tenfold increase in population and a threefold increase in life expectancy, and how it dramatically altered the human experience of life.
