Nature, Politics, and the Traumas of Europe
Nature has been the major source of demographic shocks until the nineteenth century, after which Politics has gradually become the main factor of catastrophic traumas. During the first part of the past century, war, violence, forced migration, man‐made famines, and the epidemics unchained by them were responsible for tens of millions of deaths. They left deep scars in the survivors, distorted the age structure, altered the equilibrium between the…

La despoblación en el Alto Amazonas en tiempos coloniales
En el Alto Amazonas, después de la desastrosa penetración inicial de los colonos españoles, los jesuitas empezaron la tarea de evangelización en 1638. Una red de misiones cubrió todo el territorio y se recogieron estadísticas. El sistema demográfico indígena se caracterizó por su alta movilidad y la gran fragmentación de algunas comunidades, además de por la rápida rotación de la población de las misiones. La intrusión ibérica aumentó esta fragme…

Alison Bashford, Global Population
What we can and cannot learn from the history of world population
Mankind is passing through an exceptional phase of accelerated population growth that generates anxiety about the future. How many billion people will share the limited resources of our globe a century from now? What will be the consequences of globalization for human behaviour? How will individuals react to emerging new constraints? What will be the consequences of climate change for human society? Obviously enough, history cannot offer operatio…
The Depopulation of Hispanic America after the Conquest
During the century following Columbus's landfall, the population of America experienced a precipitous decline. A widely accepted explanation is the diffusion of Eurasian pathogens among the nonimmune Indians with the attendant catastrophic mortality. Contemporary observers-conquerors, administrators, missionaries, and chroniclers-while mentioning disease among factors in the decline, were convinced that the demographic collapse was due to a plura…
The Missions of Paraguay
The Jesuits' political, social, and economic régime had a profound impact on the Guaraní demographic system. In the relatively long period of peace and stability, between the early 1640s and the early 1730s, the population increased from 40,000 to more than 140,000. In spite of high mortality and recurrent epidemics introduced from abroad, the Jesuits' emphasis on early and monogamous unions maintained the birth rate at the maximum level under no…
Return to Hispaniola
There is a dead body on the sidewalk in front of a skyscraper. Whether it fell from the fourth or the fortieth floor is irrelevant for the coroner who has to determine the direct cause of death. It was, beyond a doubt, the impact with the pavement. On the other hand, the police investigating the death are interested in determining from which floor the body fell: was he pushed, and by whom, or did he commit suicide? Hispaniola’s Tainos, a few deca…
Population and Poverty in the Developing World
The increasing gap between developed and developing world will be one of the most important themes of the 21st century. The contributions contained in this volume take a multidisciplinary approach to the problem, offering a comprehensive review of the theoretical issues and empirical findings that relate to the complex and multidirectional link between poverty and demographic behaviours and outcomes in the contemporary developing world. The start…

On the Human Costs of Collectivization in the Soviet Union
ACCELERATED INDUSTRIALIZATION, increased appropriation of grain from the peasants, forced collectivization, liquidation of the kulaks, production declines, and hunger are the main links in a chain of events that led to the famine of 193233 in the Soviet Union and to millions of deaths. Almost daily, new information is added to our knowledge of that tragic period; however, its political, economic, and social history is now probably completely know…
Population and Nutrition
Population and Nutrition
From the time of Malthus, the insufficient supply of food resources has been considered the main constraint of population growth and the main factor in the high mortality prevailing in pre-industrial times. In this essay, the mechanisms of biological, social and cultural nature linking subsistence, mortality and population and determining its short and long term cycles are discussed. The author's analysis examines the existing evidence from the c…
Population and Nutrition
Fertility, Nutrition, and Pellagra
It is hypothesized that changes in fertility around the turn of the century were associated with the rise and fall of pellagra itself a consequence of the changing nutritional and dietary patterns of the population. That malnutrition can impair the functions of the human reproductive process particularly during famine and starvation is an accepted fact but opinions differ considerably on the evaluation of the dimensions of the fertility depressin…

Social and Biological Aging
Social aging is defined as a process of relinquishing meaningful social functions; of becoming prematurely obsolete. It is a result of liberation at an earlier age than in the past from parental responsibilities and work. Its occurrence has resulted from declines in mortality family size age at birth of last child; from declining activity rates for older ages and declining employment in agriculture and independent professions. While biological ag…

Population policy in Western Europe
Policies concerning procreation and fertility are considered first. In Western Europe there are countries which fully recognize and implement the personal rights of the individual to plan and space the number of children, as well as others denying these rights. The nature and implications of laws and policies concerning contraception, abortion and family planning in general are briefly described and their effects discussed. The second topic consi…
