“…Franç ois (1978) explains it with the higher children's mortality in the cities as opposed to the surrounding countryside. Sharlin (1978) on the other hand considers an artificial overrepresentation of deceased in the burial registers. The increasing drift into the city by lower class employees with high mobility would have left a greater mark in the burial registers than in the birth registers.…”

“…The countryside's birth surplus for 1805-1815 was 1.5 births per death (BERNHIST). Thus, Sharlin's (1978) thesis seems to apply for Bern. It follows that the city's and the countryside's populations increased (Perrenoud, 1979) and other cities and regions in Central Europe 1800-1820 (Imhof, 1990).…”

“…6 See Sharlin (1978) for the idea that deaths exceeded births in the towns only as a result of the presence of temporary migrantsamong whom it is suggested there was especially high mortality (and low fertility). this raises the possibility that urban populations might not have fallen in the absence of inmigration.…”

The next observation is, that … there are far more burials than christenings. This is plain…. From this single observation it will follow that London should have decreased in its people, the contrary whereof we see by its daily increase…. It is therefore certain that London is supplied with people from out of the country, whereby not only to repair the over‐plus difference of burials above‐mentioned, but likewise to increase its inhabitants—John Graunt, Natural and Political Observations made upon the Bills of Mortality.

current research focuses on family formation in nineteenth-century United States, and she is starting a new project on the demographic determinants of Puerto Rican household structure.ABSTRACT: The implications of historic changes in the American industrial structure for the marriage behavior of farm sons are examined using data from the 1880-1900 National Panel Study. The analysis focuses on migration and occupational placement as mechanisms through which the structure of local opportunities potentially affected family formation. The findings suggest that narrowing opportunities for farm ownership channeled the sons of U.S. farmers into farm labor and nonfarm occupations. These alternatives, in turn, reduced marriage chances during the early adult years. In contrast, inter-county migration between childhood and young adulthood increased the likelihood of marriage among the men in each occupation. Overall, the analysis demonstrates clear linkages between opportunity, occupations, migration, and nuptiality.
