“…Later, John Hajnal, re-iterating Malthus (1803), developed the viewpoint that there was a 'unique' (northwest) European marriage pattern (Hajnal, 1965) and proposed a demarcation line from St Petersburg to Trieste, running right through central Europe and dividing the whole continent into two zones of sharply contrasted family systems (Hajnal, 1982).…”

The article examines marriage behaviours, household patterns and household formation rules prevailing among the population of the Upper Silesian parish of Bujakow during the late 18th and the first part of the 19th century. Their character, it is argued, is crucial not only for the proper understanding of European family systems in the past, but also for accurate comparisons of family systems in Europe and Asia. The family pattern prevailing in this part of central Europe exhibited a 'hybrid' nature in many respects. The pattern's chief characteristics were a moderate age at marriage, the dominance of simple family households and the high incidence of lifecycle servants. Serial household lists revealed, however, the significant diversity in proportions of household types between censuses and between villages. Despite the strong indication of a stem family pattern in the parish, the analysis of headship transmission revealed the concurrent co-existence of various modes of household formation among families. Some of these formation processes did not vary much from neo-local principles or followed exactly this type of pattern. This study also made it possible to reconsider the supposed relationship between the seigneurial authority and family behaviours in the parish pointing out the considerable degree of autonomy of the peasant subjects.

“…In general, scholars argue that population growth can support resource scarcity and violence (Christens & Speer, 2005;Lee, 2016Lee, , 2016acf., Christian, 1961). The theoretical background of these studies is the theory by Malthus (1817) presented in the book An Essay on the Principle of Population: T. R. Malthus wrote that population has geometric growth rates, while food resources have arithmetic growth rates. Populationresource imbalance (population pressure) is often evoked as a source of subsistence stress in society that generates a looming crisis and environmental conflicts.…”

This paper has two goals. The first is to analyze the possible association between demographic factors and effects of terrorist attacks in society. The second is to detect possible socioeconomic and psychosocial risk factors. These topics are basic in social sciences because terrorism is growing both in rich and in developing nations (Devezas & Santos, 2006; Root causes, 2015;Li & Schaub, 2004;Norris et al., 2013; Reardon, Abstract.A fundamental problem in psychosocial sciences is how to explain the root causes of terrorism. The vast literature has analyzed several determinants of terrorism. However, the precise role of demographic factors for the evolution of terrorism is hardly known. Statistical evidence here reveals that fatalities for incidents of terrorism are associated with growth rates of population. This finding seems to suggest that terrorism thrives -in average-in specific regions with high growth rates of population that may generate income inequality, subsistence stress and relative deprivation of people. In addition, geospatial analysis here reveals that countries with high association between fatalities from terrorist incidents and population growth are mainly in Africa and Middle East. Overall, then, the study here can clarify and generalize whenever possible, one of the causes of terrorism, which seems to be due to sociodemographic factors combined with psychosocial risk factors. Finally, the study suggests socioeconomic policies directed to reduce this critical problem in society.

“…He later stated that ''the cause to which I allude, is the constant tendency in all animated life to increase beyond the nourishment prepared for it'' (Malthus, 1826). Since 1800, the world's population has increased ;20-fold, and there is little doubt that on average we have more to eat than did our ancestors who lived during Malthus' time.…”
