The Malthusian League was a British organisation which advocated the practice of contraception and the education of the public about the importance of family planning. It was established in 1877 and was dissolved in 1927. The organisation was secular, utilitarian, individualistic, and "above all malthusian."[1] The organisation maintained that it was concerned about the poverty of the British working class and held that over-population was the chief cause of poverty.
