Abstract: BACKGROUNDThis article examines the impact of parental death in childhood, adolescence, and adulthood on male and female age at marriage in the Netherlands in the period 1850-1940. It follows an interdisciplinary approach as it considers explanations based on social and demographic history and evolutionary biology. OBJECTIVEWe study the classical historical framework in more detail by controlling for the age at parental death. Moreover, we study if evolutionary or social-demographic explanations are better abl… Show more

“…Being older (aged 23–33) is beneficial for one’s own career, which points to intragenerational mobility in young adulthood. Unmarried males had slightly higher occupational status, in line with earlier research on the Netherlands finding a link between low socioeconomic status and earlier transition to first marriage (Engelen and Kok 2002; Rosenbaum-Feldbrügge and Debiasi 2019; Suanet and Bras 2010).…”

“…In the 19th-century Netherlands, for instance, couples traditionally contracted their marriage in the bride's or the bride's parents' place of residence (Ekamper, van Poppel, & Mandemakers, 2011).

“…In the period of consideration, religious denomination played a very important role in Dutch society and daily life. For instance, Catholic women typically married much later than their Liberal Protestant counterparts because they relied on marriage restraint as a traditional Malthusian method to limit family size (Engelen and Kok 2002;Rosenbaum-Feldbrügge and Debiasi 2019). In the analysis, religious denomination is divided into five categories: Catholic, liberal Protestant, orthodox Protestant, Jewish, and unknown/other.…”
