Maternal education and infant mortality decline
Better maternal education has been credited with making a major contribution to infant mortality decline. Most of the evidence is based on cross-sectional analyses, which show a strong correlation between maternal education and infant mortality. However, c
The role of education in explaining trends in self-rated health in the United States, 1972-2018
The percentage of older adults in the United States reporting being in good health has increased since the 1980s
Does the association between children and happiness vary by level of religiosity? The evidence from Israel
There is a widespread belief that parenthood makes people happier. However, research has shown mixed results on the association between happiness and fertility, finding evidence for both positive and negative consequences of having children. The relationsh
The Decline in Marriage in Israel, 1960–2007
Religiosity and marital fertility among Muslims in Israel
Mounting evidence suggests that religious couples tend to have an above-average preference for children. Most of the evidence comes from studies of Christian and Jewish populations. Much less is known about the relationship between religiosity and fertilit
The marriage boom and marriage bust in the United States
In the 1950s and 1960s there was an unprecedented marriage boom in the United States. This was followed in the 1970s by a marriage bust. Some argue that both phenomena are cohort effects, while others argue that they are period effects. The study reported here tested the major period and cohort theories of the marriage boom and bust, by estimating an age-period-cohort model of first marriage for the years 1925-79 using census microdata. The resul…
The decline in consanguineous marriage among Muslims in Israel
There are two explanations for the inverse relationship between consanguinity and women's education. The female empowerment hypothesis posits that better-educated women will demand more freedom in choosing a marriage partner, whereas the role incompatibili
Early-life conditions and adult mortality decline in Dutch cohorts born 1812-1921
Mounting evidence suggests that early-life conditions have an enduring effect on an individual's mortality risks as an adult. The contribution of improvements in early-life conditions to the overall decline in adult mortality, however, remains a debated issue. We provide an estimate of the contribution of improvements in early-life conditions to mortality decline after age 30 in Dutch cohorts born between 1812 and 1921. We used two proxies for ea…
The Wallich List from Worms
In einer Handschrift der Kommentare von Raschi und Raschbam über den Pentateuch, die dem Arzt Beifuβ Josephus aus Worms gehörte, gibt es eine Liste von 16 Männern mit demselben Familiennamen: Walch oder Wallich – einer Familie, die der jüdischen Elite angehörte. Wahrscheinlich ist die Nummer 9 auf der Liste Isaak Wallich aus Worms, der bekannte Sammler von Volksliedern. Die Liste zeigt nicht die genaue Beziehung zwischen den 16 Männern. Um die Be…
Inflation and Marriage in Israel
At the end of the 1970s and the beginning of the 1980s, inflation in Israel exceeded 100 percent. Using the twenty percent samples of the 1972, 1983, 1995, and 2008 Israeli Census, we show that inflation had a substantial negative effect on the decision to marry. More specifically, we show that high inflation influenced marriage by creating economic uncertainty. Without the episode of high inflation, the decline in marriage would have been delaye…
Marital Fertility Decline in the Netherlands
Previous studies of the fertility decline in Europe are often limited to an earlier stage of the marital fertility decline, when the decline tended to be slower and before the large increase in earnings in the 1920s. Starting in 1860 (before the onset of the decline), this study follows marital fertility trends until 1939, when fertility reached lower levels than ever before. Using data from the Historical Sample of the Netherlands (HSN), this st…
Religiosity and Marital Fertility
This study examines the relationship between religiosity and marital fertility in a Muslim society around the onset of the transition using the 1973—74 Israeli Fertility Survey. In rural areas, where no decline was discernable, there was a negative relationship between religiosity and marital fertility, while in urban areas there was no relationship. The results of this study suggest that the negative relationship in rural areas is because of dif…

Family allowances and fertility
This article explores socioeconomic differences in the effect of family allowances on fertility. Although several studies have examined the relationship between cash benefits and fertility, few studies have addressed the possible differential effects of cash benefits on families of different income or education levels. I reconstructed the birth histories of women in the past two Israeli censuses of 1983 and 1995 to study socioeconomic differences…
Religious differentials in marital fertility in The Hague (Netherlands) 1860-1909
Previous studies of the marital fertility transition in Europe have found religious differentials. Using data collected from the population registers of The Hague, our aim in this study is to search for answers to the following questions: whether religious differentials result from socio-economic characteristics; to what extent religious ideology explains the behaviour of religious groups; which proximate determinants account for the religious di…

The Predecline Rise in Israeli Moslem Fertility
Religious differentials in infant and child mortality in Holland, 1855-1912
At least three kinds of hypothesis may be invoked to interpret religious differentials in mortality. They are (i) hypotheses that refer to characteristics, (ii) those that refer to lifestyle, and (iii) those that refer to the social isolation of minorities. This paper tests all three kinds of hypothesis using data on urban child mortality from the Hague just before and during the demographic transition. A hazard analysis suggests that economic an…

Economic Change and Infant Mortality in England, 1580-1837
Adaptation of the results from a recent family-reconstitution study of twenty-six parishes in pre-transition England reveals that long-term trends in post-neonatal mortality follow trends in a real-wage index, and that trends in neonatal mortality correlate with other economic factors. Thus, the hypothesis that infant mortality and economic performance in pre-transition England were related is consistent with the family-reconstitution data
Determinants of Age at First Marriage Among Jews in Amsterdam, 1625-1724
This study provides evidence for relatively early marriage among Ashkenazi Jews compared to Sephardi Jews and Christians in seventeenth-century Western Europe. The results of this study suggest that these differences are not just structural. For example, Ashkenazi parents seem to have been more willing to support married sons during their lifetimes than have Sephardi parents. One form of assistance was coresidence, which was relatively common amo…
Nuptiality during the First Industrial Revolution in England
Change in the incidence of service in husbandry and the spread of rural industry are the two major explanations proposed for the rise in nuptiality [in England] during the second half of the eighteenth century and the beginning of the nineteenth century. The major objective of this study is to examine via multiple-regression techniques the extent to which each of these explanations is able to account for this rise in nuptiality. The data are from…
Irish Famines and English Mortality in the Eighteenth Century
The relationship between famines in Ireland and mortality in England in the eighteenth century is explored. Specifically the author attempts to confirm Charles Creightons hypothesis that typhus (or typhoid) epidemics in England were directly related to periods of famine in Ireland. The author uses data from Wrigleys and Schofields calculation of death rates. The results suggest that nearly 50 percent of Englands mortality decline was crisis-relat…

The Predecline Rise in Israeli Moslem Fertility
Mortality and Socio-economic Status in Two Eighteenth-century Dutch Villages
This study is an analysis of mortality levels and their patterns of change among different socio-economic groups in two eighteenth-century Dutch villages. In these two villages – Gilze and Rijen – there were substantial mortality differentials between farmers and agricultural labourers. Mortality differentials of this magnitude have not been found in other European villages, although they are not unheard of in cities. The differentials are probab…
Wages, Secondary Workers, and Fertility
The focus of the analysis in this study is on the economic benefits parents derive from their children and the impact of these on fertility transitions. Particular attention is given to the working class in Victorian England and Wales. The life-cycle drop-off in adult productivity among this class created a need for additional income at later stages of the family life-cycle. This income was mostly generated by children and adolescents. Hence, it …

Determinants of Marriage Patterns Among Farmers and Agricultural Laborers in Two Eighteenth-Century Dutch Villages
Eighteenth-century population listings and church records are used to examine the determinants of marriage patterns in an agricultural population. Using macro-level data it is shown that the availability of mates has relatively little effect on marriage patterns. Using micro-level data it is shown that determinants affect marriage patterns differentially across occupational groups. Special attention is given to explaining marital behavior among a…

Illegitimate Fertility Decline in England, 1851-1911
This study attempts to determine the extent to which several hypotheses are able to account for the illegitimate fertility decline in England in the second half of the nineteenth century. The results of a pooled time-series analysis are consistent with the hypothesis that a rise in working-class prosperity accounts for much of the decline. Additional reasons for the decline, which cannot be ruled out with the data used in the analysis, include th…
