The mortality gradient in town and country: Social class and childhood mortality in Sweden at the turn of the twentieth century
This study examines social‐class and urban–rural differentials in childhood mortality in Sweden from 1880 to 1910, a period of steady mortality decline, ongoing industrialization, and urbanization.

It remains unexplored whether these changes narrowed or widened the class gap in infant and child mortalit…
Kinship and opportunity: Swedish chain migration to the United States, 1880–1920
Between 1850 and 1930, millions of Europeans emigrated to the United States, attracted by opportunities for a better life. We study the role of migrant networks in fostering emigration, using individual-level Swedish full-count census data for men and women, linked to emigration records.

This paper explores the role of migrant networks on the occupa-tional earnings of Swedish male immigrants in the United Statesfrom 1900 to 1920. Using data from full-count U.S. censuses, weconstruct various measurements of migrant networks based on theshare of Swedish, other Scandinavian, and other foreign-born indi-viduals at both the county and neighborhood levels. To define theneighborhood levels, we exploit the fact that the historical U.Scen…
