Living standards in Angola, 1760–1975
We investigate the well-being of urban workers in Angola under colonialism. Using a newly compiled dataset derived from archival and secondary sources, we construct welfare ratios for both skilled and unskilled workers in the cities of Luanda and Benguela from 1760 to 1975. Our findings indicate that Angolan workers experienced lower economic prosperity compared to their counterparts in other parts of the world. Living standards declined during t…
Introduction
For two decades, real wage comparisons have been centre stage in global socio-economic history studies of comparative development, offering a tractable – if oversimplified – gauge of living standards. But critics argue that these studies have leaned too heavily on the earnings of male, urban, unskilled, daily wage labourers, overlooking wage disparities between social groups and the mechanics of how wages were paid. This Special Issue attempts to…
Beyond the Great Divergence
The article explores the evolution of household income in India before the late nineteenth century. At a time when criticism of estimates of global real wages challenges the assumptions arising from the Great Divergence Debate, we aim to provide alternative ways of contributing to the discussion. By looking at individual and household income, as well as consumption levels in different parts of India, we found that members of the household other t…
Reconsidering the Southern European Model
Challenging current ideas in mainstream scholarship on differences between female labour force participation in southern and north-western Europe and their impact on economic development, this article shows that in Portugal, neither marriage nor widowhood prevented women from participating in the labour market of mid-eighteenth-century. Our research demonstrates that marriage provided women with the resources they needed to work in various capaci…
Inbreeding in the last ruling dynasty of Portugal
OBJECTIVES: To determine whether: (1) there are high levels of inbreeding in a European royal dynasty that continues until the 20th century, and (2) whether inbreeding is negatively associated with pre-reproductive survival and longevity. METHODS: Genealogical information of all Braganza monarchs (1640-1910) was used to compute the individual's inbreeding coefficient (F) and the coefficient of kinship (θ) of the marriage which were examined in re…
Knightly Masculinity, Court Games and Material Culture in Late‐medieval Portugal
This article explores the ways in which gender was used in order to transform an exiled and uneducated illegitimate child into a prince. Our study revolves around a member of the royal family, Afonso ( c .1480–1504), who was brought up in hiding by peasants and who later, as a teenager, was reincorporated into the court. We argue that the keys to this process of rehabilitation were, on one hand, family politics centred around different configurat…
