The document summarizes demographic changes in England between 1840 and 1900. It discusses three key points: 1) England experienced a growing population during this period due to a high birth rate over 40% and a catastrophic decline in mortality rates. 2) Mortality rates decreased due to new medical advances, improved hygiene, and laws passed by Parliament to improve public health through water/drainage infrastructure. 3) The rising population led to increased demand for food and goods, incentivizing economic growth as there was a larger workforce and consumer base.
