Fertility did not decrease due to the use of contraception during or immediately after the Second Industrial Revolution (which lasted from the 1860s to 1910s). In fact, fertility initially increased, then began to drop in later years. Medical contraception did not start to become readily available until the end of the Industrial Revolution, and when fertility declined after the introduction of medical contraception, changing values also played a role in the decline.
