FEWER CHILDREN.
EFFECT OF WAR EVIDENT. WILL BE GREATEST IN 1933. SHORTAGE OF 13,000 YOUTHS. (By Telegraph.—Parliamentary Reporter.) WELLINGTON, this day. It is mentioned in the Labour Department's report that the number of boys and girls shortly reaching working age is appreciably diminished as the result of the war. Tho Government statistician, in a report, shows that, assuming that prewar birth rates per 1000 and the other usual conditions had continued to tho present time (including mortality rates and immigration) there will shortly be in all about 13,000 fewer boys and girls reaching the age of fourteen years than if the war had not occurred.
The peak year in which the effect of this loss of potential population will be at its greatest should be in 1933, and
it will be interesting, remarks the Department, to note from the present year to that time what effect this loss of potential population will have on the numbers of boys and girls available for industry.
