Evolutions of Demographic Behavior

Claude Diebolt and Faustine Perrin

Chapter Chapter 1 in Understanding Demographic Transitions, 2017, pp 1-40 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter focuses on the evolution of demographic variables in France over the past 200 years. Particular attention is paid to the evolution of the marriage pattern. The investigation of regional specificities shows the coexistence of two types of fertility regulation during the mid-nineteenth century: control via marriage versus control within marriage. Long-run trends indicate that the fertility transition occurred at the same time as the decline in the traditional marriage pattern in favor of birth control within marriage.
