The Patriarchy Index ten years after
This article revisits the Patriarchy Index (PI) a decade after its introduction, extending its scope to the United States and situating it within the broader North Atlantic demographic regime. Using harmonized census microdata (IPUMS USA, NAPP, Mosaic), we estimate PI values for the 1880 and 1910 U.S. censuses and compare them with contemporaneous European populations. We map these patterns at county scale and by race, revealing important interna…
Ipums full count datasets of enslaved persons and slaveholders in the United States in 1850 and 1860
Bricks without straw
We describe a method to estimate child mortality using linked IPUMS full-count census data for the decades following the 1850, 1860, 1870, 1900, 1910, 1920, and 1930 censuses. We compare the estimates to several external sources and conclude that the method represents a viable way to estimate and model child mortality at individual and aggregate levels over the course of the mortality transition. We demonstrate an example use of the method by map…
New data sources for research on the nineteenth-century United States
IPUMS has finalized databases for each of the United States population censuses from 1850 to 1880. These data are the result of collaborations between FamilySearch and Ancestry.com, which provided the raw data, and IPUMS, which enhanced the data with editing, standardized coding, inter-census harmonization, and documentation. We discuss the data capture process conducted by the nineteenth-century United States Census Office, construction of the m…
The Ipums multigenerational longitudinal panel
The IPUMS Multigenerational Longitudinal Panel (MLP) is a longitudinal population panel that links American censuses, surveys, administrative sources, and vital records spanning the period from 1850 to the present. This article explains the rationale for IPUMS MLP, outlines the design of the infrastructure, and describes the linking methods used to construct the panel. We then detail our plans for expansion and improvement of MLP over the next fi…
Ipums full count datasets of the United States censuses of mortality, 1850–1880
This article describes four new IPUMS datasets constructed from the 1850, 1860, 1870, and 1880 Censuses of Mortality of the United States. We discuss the creation of the datasets, the variables included in each census year, and their potential for social science research. We highlight several limitations in the data and caution users about potential biases. Finally, we illustrate the usefulness of the new data by analyzing the relationship betwee…
Did migration alter the path of the demographic transition for French Canadians in the United States
Large numbers of Canadians, of both English and French descent, migrated to the United States between 1850 and 1930. In Canada, French-Canadian fertility and child mortality rates were about 50% higher than English Canadian rates. Although the English-Canadian and U.S. white population of native-born parentage experienced rapid fertility declines beginning in the mid to late nineteenth century, there is no sign of significant fertility decline am…
The Impact of Multiple Births on Fertility
Multiple births strain mothers’ and families’ resources in ways that should highlight preferences for family size, birth spacing, and parity-dependent stopping behavior. Couples with surviving twins reach their target family size sooner than other couples and should be more likely to practice family limitation. Twins are also a greater burden on the mother's time and health, which could lead to postponing the next birth, even among couples who wa…
Maternal Mortality and Gender Differences in Adult Mortality in Early New England
Published estimates of adult mortality and life expectancy in early America are based on poor data, faulty methods, and small numbers of cases. Estimates for women are especially difficult to make and are often inaccurate. This study relies on the remarkably complete and reliable demographic data available for the graduates of Yale College and their wives to examine gender differences in mortality and life expectancy. Because these data are nearl…
Racial residential segregation and child mortality in the southern United States at the turn of the 20th century
A growing body of research considers racial residential segregation to be a form of systemic racism and a fundamental cause of persistent racial disparities in health and mortality. Historical research examining the impact of segregation on health and mortality, however, is limited to a few studies with poor data and inconsistent results. In this study, we examine the association between racial residential segregation and child mortality in the S…
Wealth and Child Mortality in the Nineteenth-Century United States
With only a few exceptions, the historical study of individual-level correlates of child mortality in the United States has been limited to the period surrounding the turn of the twentieth century, when children ever born and children surviving data collected by the 1900 and 1910 censuses allow indirect estimation of child mortality. The recent release of linked census data, such as the IPUMS MLP datasets, allows a different type of indirect esti…
Migration, Kinship and Child Mortality in Early Twentieth-Century North America
This article appraises kin availability and migration timing on French-Canadian child mortality in an early twentieth-century North American industrial city. The analysis is based on the exploitation of an original dataset constructed by linking the 1910 census data (IPUMS-Full Count) for Manchester, New Hampshire to Quebec Catholic marriage records (BALSAC) and geocoding census data at the household level (Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps). Our resul…
Introduction to Fatal Years 30 Years Later
2021 marked the 30-year anniversary of the publication Fatal Years: Child Mortality in the late Nineteenth-Century United States , a pioneering work in historical demography by Samuel H. Preston and Michael R. Haines. This special issue showcases the current state of historical mortality studies through a collection of articles originally presented at two commemorative sessions at the 2021 meeting of the Social Science History Association. It pro…
Early Fertility Decline in the United States
The US fertility transition in the nineteenth century is unusual. Not only did it start from a very high fertility level and very early in the nation’s development, but it also took place long before the nation’s mortality transition, industrialization, and urbanization. This paper assembles new county-level, household-level, and individual-level data, including new complete-count IPUMS microdata databases of the 1830–1880 censuses, to evaluate d…
The Influence of Kin Proximity on the Reproductive Success of American Couples, 1900–1910
Children require a large amount of time, effort, and resources to raise. Physical help, financial contributions, medical care, and other types of assistance from kin and social network members allow couples to space births closer together while maintaining or increasing child survival. We examine the impact of kin availability on couples' reproductive success in the early twentieth-century United States with a panel data set of over 3.1 million c…
Fertility decline in the United States, 1850-1930
Fertility decline in the United States, 1850-1930
De 1835 à 1935, la fécondité aux États-Unis a chuté de 7 enfants par femme à 2,1. Le dépouillement intégral du recensement américain réalisé par IPUMS pour les années 1850, 1880, 1910 et 1930 permet d’analyser très finement cette baisse. Pour cela, nous construisons des modèles inclusifs de la fécondité des couples qui prennent en compte une très large variété de facteurs économiques, sociaux, culturels et familiaux, y compris des mesures de la r…

Reconstruction of birth histories using children ever born and children surviving data from the 1900 and 1910 U.S. censuses
This paper describes a method to reconstruct complete birth histories for women in the 1900 and 1910 U. S. census IPUMS samples. The method is an extension of an earlier method developed by Luther and Cho (1988). The basic method relies on the number of children ever born, number of children surviving, number of children coresident in the household and age-specific fertility rates for the population to probabilistically assign an "age" to decease…
Immigration and Child Mortality
The societal integration of immigrants is a great concern in many of today’s Western societies, and has been so for a long time. Whether we look at Europe in 2015 or the United States at the turn of the twentieth century, large flows of immigrants pose challenges to receiving societies. While much research has focused on the socioeconomic integration of immigrants there has been less interest in their demographic integration, even though this can…
From ‘20. and odd’ to 10 million
This research note describes the growth of the slave population in the United States and develops several new measures of its size and growth, including an estimate of the total number of slaves who ever lived in the United States. Estimates of the number of births and slave imports are provided in ten-year increments between 1619 and 1860 and in one-year increments between 1861 and 1865. The results highlight the importance of natural increase t…
Becoming American
Although intermarriage is a common indicator of immigrant integration into host societies, most research has focused on how individual characteristics determine intermarriage. This study uses the 1910 ipums census sample to analyze how contextual factors affected intermarriage among European immigrants in the United States. Newly available, complete-count census microdata permit the construction of contextual measures at a much lower level of agg…
The impact of kin availability, parental religiosity, and nativity on fertility differentials in the late 19th-century United States
METHODS: Most quantitative research on fertility decline in the United States ignores the potential impact of cultural and familial factors. We rely on new complete-count data from the 1880 U.S. census to construct couple-level measures of nativity/ethnicity, religiosity, and kin availability. We include these measures with a comprehensive set of demographic, economic, and contextual variables in Poisson regression models of net marital fertility…
Ready, Willing, and Able? Impediments to the Onset of Marital Fertility Decline in the United States
This study relies on IPUMS samples of the 1850, 1860, 1870, and 1880 censuses, aggregate census data, and the timing of state laws criminalizing abortion to construct regional estimates of marital fertility in the United States and estimate correlates of marital fertility. The results show a significant lag between the onset of marital fertility decline in the nation’s northeastern census divisions and its onset in western and southern census div…
The impact of socio-economic status on net fertility during the historical fertility decline
We used micro-level data from the censuses of 1900 to investigate the impact of socio-economic status on net fertility during the fertility transition in five Northern American and European countries (Canada, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, and the USA). The study is therefore unlike most previous research on the historical fertility transition, which used aggregate data to examine economic correlates of demographic behaviour at regional or national lev…

Rethinking the “early” decline of marital fertility in the united states
In this article, I rely on new estimates of nineteenth-century mortality and the Integrated Public Use Microdata Series to construct new estimates of white fertility in the nineteenth-century United States. Unlike previous estimates that showed a long-term decline in overall fertility beginning at or before the turn of the nineteenth century, the new estimates suggest that U.S. fertility did not begin its secular decline until circa 1840. Moreove…
Decennial Life Tables for the White Population of the United States, 1790–1900
This article constructs new life tables for the white population of the United States in each decade between 1790 and 1900. Drawing from several recent studies, it suggests best estimates of life expectancy at age 20 for each decade. These estimates are fitted to new standards derived from the 1900-02 rural and 1900-02 overall DRA life tables using a two-parameter logit model with fixed slope. The resulting decennial life tables more accurately r…
Child naming, religion, and the decline of marital fertility in nineteenth-century america
Demographic historians have long suspected that cultural factors played an important role in the early decline of fertility in nineteenth-century America. Using the recently released 1850 and 1880 IPUMS samples, this article investigates correlates of marital fertility among native-born white women of native parentage, focusing on the relationship between religion and fertility. Two proxies of religious sentiment are found to be significantly cor…

Intergenerational Transmission of Reproductive Behavior during the Demographic Transition
New evidence from the Utah Population Database (updp) reveals that at the onset of the fertility transition, reproductive behavior was transmitted across generations-between women and their mothers, as well as between women and their husbands' family of origin. Age at marriage, age at last birth, and the number of children ever born are positively correlated in the data, most strongly among first-born daughters and among cohorts born later in the…

Contextual Influences on Gendered Racial Identity Development of African American Young Women
The aim of the study was to identify the contextual factors and socialization experiences most salient to the identity development of African American girls. Seventeen African American young women participated in dyadic focus groups. Themes that emerged included exposure to stereotypes, negative classroom environments, and parental and peer socialization that fostered self-determination and positive identity development. Implications for interven…
Economic, Demographic, and Anthropometric Correlates of First Marriage in the Mid-Nineteenth-Century United States
Despite the importance of marriage for the economic and demographic history of the nineteenth-century United States, there are few published estimates of the timing and incidence of marriage and no published studies of its correlates before 1890, when the Census Office first tabulated marital status by age, sex, and nativity. In this article I rely on the 1860 Integrated Public Use Microdata Series census sample to construct national and regional…
Cultural Demography
This study examines the perception of the risk of death among New Englanders in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century America and compares it with the actual risk of death using the life table concepts developed by demographers. Emphasis is on the relationship between actual and perceived risks of death. The authors conclude that although the actual risk of death changed radically over time as the mortality transition evolved the perceptions of Pur…

A Public Use Microdata Sample of the 1860 Census of Slave Inhabitants
The authors describe a public use microdata sample of the 1860 slave population of the United States recently created at the Minnesota Population Center. They discuss the key substantive issues that quantitative historians are likely to address with the data set, such as the demography of slavery, patterns in slave-holding, and miscegenation. They outline the sample design, data-entry procedures, variable availability, and documentation of the fi…
American Indian Mortality in the Late Nineteenth Century
Sous la pression des réformateurs de la fin du xixe siècle, la politique des États-Unis à l’égard des Indiens américains s’est modifiée, passant des efforts pour les déplacer et les réinstaller à des tentatives de « civilisation » par le biais du lotissement de terres tribales, de l’attribution de la citoyenneté, et de l’instruction obligatoire. Il n’existe guère d’accord, cependant, sur la question de savoir si – et dans quelle mesure – la polit…
