The decline in the birthrate among the working class was partially due to child labor laws, which meant that children required financial support and were no longer contributing to the family economy. The "European family pattern" of later marriage and fewer children was established in rural areas as early as the 17th century; however, working-class populations had been slow to follow suit.

By the late 19th century, this European family pattern could be found throughout Europe.
