Demographic Patterns

Economic historians have stressed the importance of households and household formation but have devoted little attention to the process of leaving home. Leaving home in Ireland is important because of households' role in post-Famine demographic patterns. A matched Irish manuscript census sample for 1901 and 1911 shows that Irish males left home later than females. Statistical tests show that much of this reflects an Irish inheritance system that led many males never to leave home. Other economic forces, such as labor market opportunities, often had opposite impacts on males and females.

Cycle De Vie

Le focus de cet article est centré sur le processus selon lequel les enfants quittaient la maison paternelle et s'il existait chez les filles une tendance à partir plus tôt et en plus grand nombre que chez les garçons. Des résultats détaillés sont exposés quant aux caractéristiques du cycle de vie dans deux communautés agricoles et deux communautés proto-industrielles, recensées à des dates variant entre 1599 et 1801. Une enquête plus large indique qu'il était assez rare, quant aux habitudes anglaises, que les fils restent dans leurs maisons paternelles plutôt que les filles. Par rapport aux filles, et à partir du dix-huitième siècle, plus de garçons restent dans la maison paternelle que ne l'était le cas précédemment.

Intervening Factors

Based on the argument that values and expectations underlie behavioral motives, this study explores the determinants of migration-related values and expectations, and whether they are intervening factors in explaining intentions to move among residents of rural northeast Thailand. Data from the 1992 National Migration Survey of Thailand identify four migration-related value-expectancy dimensions: income, affiliation, stimulation, and comfort. Logistic regression analysis shows that landownership and being married are associated with higher expectations, while a diversified village economy, a village economic development program, and a younger and extended household structure are associated with lower expectations of attaining valued goals in the local rural village. The analysis also shows that value-expectancy concepts are only partial intervening explanations for intentions to move or stay.

European Family

ABSTRACTThis article discusses family patterns in the vast territories of historical Poland and Lithuania at the end of the eighteenth century. It explores one of the largest collections of historical household data in Europe on pre-industrial rural settings, and applies a variety of methodologies to reveal various aspects of family systems, as well as their spatial distribution. Three regional family patterns have been distinguished in the historical Polish territories, differing both in terms of household structure and household formation rules and in terms of their marriage patterns. Analysis of the dataset on these spatially, culturally and socioeconomically diverse regions has also facilitated the preliminary identification of the factors shaping these family systems. Contrary to conventional wisdom, the data presented here suggest that the impact of second serfdom on family structure was by no means uniform, and that factors other than purely economic ones may actually have accounted for the diversity of family systems prevailing in historical Poland and Lithuania.
