The Care of the Expectant Mother

چکیده
and occupation published in the Census Reports for 1921, 1931, and 1951. These relate to England, Wales, and Scotland and the results are applicable principally to those areas, although there are similarities with occupational experiences in other countries. Perhaps the most striking impression gained from the book is the difficulty of getting more than a few leads from the enormous labor that went into assembling the various tables. Thirty-two occupations are studied in detail by three methods, "Moving Cohorts," "Age Group Ratios," and "Changes in the Age-structure of Occupations." In addition the authors interviewed a variety of persons with knowledge and experience of these occupations. From the trends suggested by their statistical treatment of the data and these interviews, they present a list of occupations and the estimated practical percentage survival in each occupation of men 65 years of age and older. For example, they conclude that 75 to 85 per cent of "makers of watches and clocks, workers in precious metals, and makers of musical instruments" could continue at these occupations beyond the age of 65, whereas only 5 to 15 per cent of "coal-face workers and signalmen" would probably be physically able to perform their jobs beyond 65. The major difficulty in a study of this kind is that it cannot take much account of technological changes. Coal mine engineers might use it as an indication that more labor saving devices should be used at the coal face. But public health workers should be skeptical of attempts to generalize and apply these conclusions to localities other than England, Wales, and Scotland at times other than the present and immediate future. For reference and historical purposes, this book is of interest. J. WISTER MEIGS
