Social Conditions.
In my Annual Report for 1936 I published a Table taken from the Census
Returns of 1931 which set out under generalised headings the total number of
males and females engaged in occupations at ages of 14 years and upwards.
There was little unemployment in Woolwich during the year.
Sickness and Invalidity.
There have been no causes of sickness or invalidity which have been specially
noteworthy in the area during the year. I am unacquainted with any conditions
of occupation which appear to have had a prejudicial effect on health and I have
no evidence, statistically or otherwise, that unemployment has exercised any
significant influence on the health or physique of children or adults.
