Leaving a Folk Church
Who is Baptized? A Study of Socioeconomic, Regional and Gender Differences in Child Baptism in the Church of Sweden, 2005 and 2015
In less than 15 years, child baptism has gone from being a mainstream tradition to a minority practice. This decline is a result of both high unaffiliation, especially with the Church of Sweden, and a more diversified religious society due to migration. Using microdata from parents of children born in 2005 and 2015, we were able to discern that differences in the practice of child baptism in the Church of Sweden are positively associated with the…
Inadequate supply and increasing demand for textiles and clothing
Drawing on a study of historical national accounts and statistics, this article shows that a growing supply of mass-consumption textiles and clothing in Sweden during industrialization did not fully meet increasing demand. As a result, high demand for second-hand items remained even at the turn of the twentieth century. Records from a local auction house from 1830 to 1900 show that, even in the 1880s, more affluent urban consumers were still acti…
Conditions for Religious Pluralism in Swedish Hospital Chaplaincy
Research interest in hospital chaplaincy has increased, in part because it is believed to contribute to the development of just models of religious pluralism. This research note brings attention to hospital chaplaincy in Sweden, a country where religious diversity has substantially increased due to migration but where research in hospital chaplaincy is scarce. In order to advocate for future research, this research note describes the organization…
Towns and rural industrialisation in Sweden 1850–1890
Using a spatial statistical analysis we study the relation between rural industrial employment and distance to towns and access to communications in nineteenth century Sweden. Our results show that rural parishes with access to communications had a higher proportion of rural industrial workers than parishes without. In a region with few towns, the south-east of Sweden, parishes close to large towns had a higher proportion of industrial employees …
Comparison and Transfer – A Fruitful Approach to National History
The aim of this article is to discuss how a combined comparative and transnational approach can widen our understanding of historical change. By using examples from the first wave of the women's movement in Sweden and Canada we argue that exploring national differences, investigating differences in class and political culture and finally even tracing the transfer of resources and ideas could open up for new perspectives in gender history. Compari…
Trade and marketing
This article examines the role of active marketing and distribution in different branches of industry in Sweden during the nineteenth century. The case studies from the cloth, cotton and metal trades show that successful firms were active during the industrialisation process, and combined production and distribution with marketing activities. The expanding cloth manufactures in Norrköping seem to have combined production with their own selling ac…
Ekonomisk historia, akademiska miljöer och kvinnliga forskare
In this article we take a closer look at the roles of female researchers at our own department, the Department of Economic History at the University of Uppsala. Looking at career development and opportunities for women researchers we have used as a model three strategies formulated by Gerholm and Gerholm, the succession strategy, the subversion strategy, and the postponed subversion strategy. It is clear that the latter seems to have been the mos…
