Land, Education, and Reproduction
This study investigates socioeconomic differentials in marriage and fertility during the Korean fertility transition in a rural village. These differentials have significant implications for understanding historical fertility patterns and the drivers of fertility decline. By analyzing population registers linked to land rosters and school records, we examine how land ownership and educational attainment were associated with fertility levels and t…
The biological standard of living of Korean men under Confucianism, colonialism, capitalism, and communism
This study focuses on analysing the heights of 10,953 Korean men aged 20 to 40 years who were measured during the Joseon dynasty, the Japanese colonialisation period, and the contemporary period, the latter including both North and South Korea. This study thus provides rare long-term statistical evidence on how biological living standards have developed over several centuries, encompassing Confucianism, colonialism, capitalism, and communism. Usi…
Biological Living Standards of Korea during the Port-Opening Period, 1876-1910
After several hundred years of a closed-door policy, Korea finally opened its ports in 1876. Historians have traditionally claimed that the port-opening was coerced by foreign countries, deteriorated the Korean economy, and led to Korea becoming a colony. We examined this view by measuring biological living standards and find the opposite. The height of the male Hangryu Deceased, who died on the street but whose bodies were not claimed, increased…
Intergenerational status mobility in nineteenth-century Korea
Changes in child mortality in Korea during the mid-twentieth century
This study examines the changes in child mortality in Korea during the mid-twentieth century by focusing on gender, birth order and sibling composition. We hypothesize that social practices and biological factors play an important role, but this might differ by gender: while girls enjoyed genetic advantages, boys received more social care. Hence, sex differences in child mortality could reflect the relative strength of these two competing forces.…
Marital fertility during the Korean demographic transition
In this paper, we examine marital fertility patterns during the demographic transition in Korea. The demographic transition was a fundamental transformation in human societies, and has been a key topic in demographic research. However, our understanding of the demographic transition in Korea is limited, largely due to a lack of adequate data. By using individual longitudinal data drawn from the population registers in a rural Korean village betwe…
Simultaneous Exposure to Heavy Metals among Residents in the Industrial Complex
A survey was conducted to evaluate the multi-exposure level and correlation among toxic metal biomarkers (Cd, Pb, and Hg). A total of 592 individuals who participated in the survey were residents near an industrial complex in Gwangyang and Yeosu (exposed group) and of Hadong and Namhae (control group) in southern Korea from May 2007 to November 2010. The Gwangyang and Yeosu area exposed groups had slightly higher blood Pb (2.21 and 1.90 μg/dL), u…
Age patterns of migration among Korean adults in early 20th-century Seoul
In this study, we examine age patterns of migration among adults who resided in Seoul in the early twentieth century. We use information, obtained from the Seoul household registers, on the length of time these adults lived in their current residences to estimate age-specific migration rates and construct migration life tables. Our findings point to the following: First, Seoul residents were quite mobile. On average, during the early twentieth ce…
