Henry, Louis (1911–91)
Demography
The history of population has long been of interest to historians and demographers. Historical writings were used to estimate the population of the Roman Empire, of China, and of the world over time. Local historians used monthly numbers of burials and baptisms in parish records to ascertain the effect of epidemics or food crises. Starting in the mid‐1950s, the work of the French demographer Louis Henry is generally credited for initiating a new …

Short Reviews
Regulating Menstruation. Beliefs, Practices, Interpretations
Menstruation, seen alternately as something negative a curse or a failed conception or as a positive part of the reproductive process to be celebrated as evidence of fertility, has long been a universal concern. How women interpret and react to menstruation and its absence reflects their individual needs both historically as well as in the contemporary cultural, social, economic, and political context in which they live. This unique volume consid…
Marvellous Secrets
Medieval and Renaissance tales are remarkable for their frank discussion of sexual practices, including birth control. Italian and French writings are the most explicit. Contraception and abortions are often treated as 'secrets', esoteric practices acquired from experts. The concealment of pregnancy is presented as an alternative form of birth control, often used after the others have failed. In the narratives, the use of birth control is mostly …

Fatal Secrets and the French Fertility Transition
There are references in historical French literature to withdrawal or mutual masturbation mostly outside marriage. It is difficult to determine to what extent withdrawal was used within marriage. The context of marital fertility is important in understanding early French fertility decline. The first reference to use of withdrawal among marital couples is given as Francis Place and Robert Dale Owen in the 19th century. Most of the early references…
Les particularités de Population dans les thèmes traités et les méthodes utilisées
Les revues, tout comme les individus ou les institutions, ont une identité qui tient autant à la personnalité de leur créateur, de leur rédaction ou de leurs auteurs principaux, qu'à l'idée que s'en font ses lecteurs et les auteurs potentiels. S'y ajoute pour Population le fait d'être en langue française et d'être la publication d'une institution. Cette spécificité de Population a-t-elle été à l'origine de choix particuliers, d'une prégnance plus…

Contraception and Abortion from the Ancient World to the Renaissance
Lessons from the Past
Drawing on data compiled during Princeton European Fertility Project authors find that the historical record suggests relative lack of importance of income and prices in determining demand for children prior to or during early stages of fertility decline [in Europe during last century]. They assert that some early features of European transition from high to low fertility can only be explained by a change in tastes or a decline in cost of fertili…
Fertility transition, conscious choice, and numeracy
One of the preconditions of the fertility transition, as stated by A.J. Coale, is that reproductive decisions must be within the calculus of conscious choice. It is suggested that the change in mentality which leads to family limitation includes “numeracy about children,” a clear notion of what family size ought to be and the awareness of individuals of where they stand with respect to the norm. The article explores the hypothesis that numeracy a…
Urban French mortality in the nineteenth century
Following population reconstructions, age-specific death rates and life tables are computed for five-year periods during 1816-1905 for the three largest urban départements of France. During the early decades of the period, life expectancy at birth in the urban départements is about five to ten years lower than that of France as a whole. At some point after the mid-century, the gap in each of the three is reduced. However, the timing of accelerate…
Breast feeding, fertility and infant mortality
Concern about high infant mortality and its suspected connection with the lack of breast-feeding stimulated the collection of statistics about the frequency of breast-feeding in several German states during the late roth and early 20th centuries. Contrary to the assumption that universal and extended breast-feeding is customary among rural agricultural populations, large regional variations existed both in the proportion of children who were brea…
How Modernization Can Also Increase Fertility [and Comments and Reply]
Industrialization, urbanization, and other associated processes of modernization generally lead to a reduction of fertility through the practice of birth control (contraception and induced abortion) and delayed age at marriage. The evidence reviewed in this paper demonstrates that these same processes may also have some fertility-increasing effects. Birth rate data for a few countries in Latin America, Africa, and Asia clearly exhibit an increase…

Norms and Behaviour in Burkinabe Fertility
In this paper a combination of methods is used to investigate the determinants of birth-interval length in a single city in Burkina Faso. First, a multi-round survey provided accurate measurement of dates of reproductive events. Secondly, open-ended interviews with a sub-sample of women from the survey were tape-recorded and transcribed. In order to disentangle the direct and indirect biological and behavioural determinants of birth-interval leng…

An approach to the study of fertility in Nigeria
The 1952–53 census of Nigeria remains the best source of demographic information for that country. This paper attempts to derive fertility information from the sketchy and inaccurate age distributions, by using stable population models. It is shown by correlating age and sex groups that various biases do not obscure completely the effect of fertility and mortality on the age distribution. Mortality is assumed to be high but relatively uniform thr…

The decline of non-marital fertility in Europe, 1880–1940
Between 1880 and 1940, to take approximate dates, illegitimate fertility rates in Europe dropped precipitously, falling in most countries by 50% or more. The rates used throughout this paper relate extra-marital births to the number of unmarried (i.e. single, widowed and divorced) women; we use a standardized index, I ({ih}) to be discussed later. In Fig. 1 we present most of the European series of I ( h )'s that can be computed from existing cen…

Teaching population dynamics with a simulation exercise
Because many students learn general points best by an empirical demonstration rather than by a purely analytical approach, most of the mysteries of the formation and the evolution of a population under the action of mortality and fertility can be conveniently demonstrated on a computer in the form of population projections under various assumptions. Such an exercise can be simple and yet constitute a powerful teaching tool. Not only will it enabl…

Population Growth
essays collected in this book explore a new and important field of study--the interrelationship between population growth and decline and changes in technology, culture, and social organization. They were generated by a discussion of Ester Boserup's anti-Malthusian theory that the increased pressures of population on resources triggered evolutionary changes in the technology, culture, and social organization of historical agricultural societies. …

The question of French fertility decline has been a central issue in the last three decades of research on tile modernization of European family structures and reproductive behavior. This is because the course of the French decline fits awkwardly into the overworked and by now discredited theory of a demographic transition.' Simply stated, the theory holds that European fertility fell because social and economic modernization compelled changes in…
