Demographic shocks: the view from history

Massimo Livi-Bacci

Conference Series ; [Proceedings], 2001, vol. 46

Abstract: The paper will basically deal with four issues. The first one puts current changes or shifts into a historical comparative perspective. The second deals with \\"traditional\\" shocks or violent disturbances of the system and their consequences. The third discusses the \\"seismic\\" changes experienced in the past, attempts their measurement, and exemplifies their effects on population and society. The fourth deals with the relevance that past experience has for current changes.
