Population structure in the western Pyrenees: I. Population density, social class composition, and migration, 1850–1915
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 July 2008
Summary
This paper tests the hypothesis that the inverse relationship between population density and migration distances in pre-industrial Europe results from variation in the social class composition of communities. Data from two pyrenean valleys in Navarre, spain, provide support for the hypothsis. Further effect on mugration distances may result from vatiation in the settlement pattern of communities. Seasonal movement associated with certain occupations seems to be unimportant.
