Infant Death Rates France's stationary population is not due entirely to a low birth rate. The English birth rate closely approaches ap-proaches that of France, but the population popu-lation of England steadily increases The explanation is that more Fiencn than English babies die. In 1923 there was a birth rate of 19 4 per 1,000 population in France and 19.7 In England. The deaths of infants under one year of age during the same period amounted to 98 per 1,000 births In France and G9 in England.
