“…Looking at Table 6, we see that the number of unmarried women living with their family was strikingly high. Living with parents, siblings, nephews and nieces, aunts and uncles was a strategy to cope with being unmarried (Chojnacka, 2000;Derosas & Oris, 2002;Oris, Ritschard & Ryczkowska, 2006). This strategy differed between regions.…”

“…While women in the city have attracted the most scholarly attention (a.o. de Haan & Stam, 1986;Dorsman & Stavenuiter, 1993;Bennett & Froide, 1999;Chojnacka, 2000;Froide, 2005;Oris, Ritschard & Ryczkowska, 2006), the living conditions of rural women remain largely unexplored. Therefore, this article concentrates on the rural region around Bruges, the Franc of Bruges, rather than on the city.…”

In eighteenth-and early nineteenth-century rural Flanders the number of unmarried women rose, as they did in the rest of Western Europe. While previous studies of unmarried women mostly concentrated on urban dwellers, this contribution focuses on the coping strategies of unmarried women in two rural areas of the Franc of Bruges characterized by two different 'social agro-systems'. This concept aims to link the social, economic and demographic patterns with the geological characteristics and economic activities of a specific region. Based on two censuses, this article discusses the occupations of unmarried women, their household situations and their migration behaviour. The numbers show different outcomes for the two agro-systems, which validates the idea that the coping strategies of unmarried women were influenced by the region they were living in.

“…If indications of age and place of birth help increase the proportion of matches, doubts persist in many cases that must remain unlinked. Furthermore, as Oris et al (2006) have shown, mobility among single women was very important. As a consequence, part of the temporary population is never recorded in any census.…”

“…In previous research, the importance of diverse vulnerable classes in 19th-century Geneva has been shown, e.g. women living alone (Oris, Ritschard, & Ryczkowska, 2006), old people (Ryczkowska & Perroux, 2006) and single women (Ryczkowska, 2006).…”

The rise in illegitimate fertility in the late 18th and early 19th centuries has often been related to increasing economic and social vulnerability in the urban industrializing world. Many studies using macro-level data or analyzing individual characteristics of unwed mothers have found support for the vulnerability hypothesis. In this article, we investigate illegitimate childbearing in early 19th century Geneva in a longitudinal perspective. Relating events (illegitimate births) to the population at risk (single women), our multivariate analysis shows that the segment of the female population assumed to be most vulnerable -immigrants and maids -did not have a higher risk of illegitimacy. However, the substantially increased risk among women who already gave birth to illegitimate children indicates the existence of a small but highly vulnerable group of women.

“…par Lionel KESZTENBAUM et Michel ORIS façon dont les comportements de migrations se situaient dans des ensembles plus larges avec lesquelles ils interagissent : développement urbain (Pinol, 1991 ;Kok, Mandemakers et al, 2005 ;Oris, Ritschard et al, 2006), marché du travail, expériences antérieures (Rygiel, 2001 ;Renahy, Détang-Dessendre et al, 2003 ;Lee, 2007), droits sociaux (Cribier et Kych, 1992), réseaux de migration (Grieco, 1988 ;Wegge, 1998), etc. Ces travaux ont montré comment mobilité et migration pouvaient s'expliquer par la compréhension -parfois erronée -, que les migrants avaient de leur champ des possibles.…”
