[Changes in fertility in the Czech lands during the demographic transition].
"The beginning of the decrease of fertility in the Czech Lands can be placed in the first decades of the 19th century...as a result of the declining marriage rate.  From the 1880's [on] there was added the restriction of marital fertility which gradually extended to all parts of society and to the whole of the country.  There were important regional differences as regards the beginning, duration and end of the decline of fertility.  These differences led to the relatively high variation coefficient in the level of fertility according to districts in the period when the level of fertility throughout the country dropped (1900-1930), whereas in the preceding and subsequent periods deviations from the average values were considerably lower."
