(2) The health of children between the age of 1 and 2
years is very much more unsatisfactory than during the first
year of life, the percentage of unsatisfactory children
being, in both employed and unemployed classes, as much as
double the number of unsatisfactory children during the first
year. (This may or may not be accounted for by the fact
that this is the main teething period.)
(3) on investigating the question of bad housing and
bad management in every case, I find that about 50 per cent.
of (1) can be to a certain degree accounted for under one or
other, or both, of these headings.
(4) There is very little bad housing amongst the employed,
but bad management accounts for approximately one
quarter of the unsatisfactory children of employed parents."
