Abstract

We present a model of 19th Century population change in England & Wales. The model highlights contrasting demographic and economic processes in rural and urban sectors as core explanations for rural to urban migration, stemming from labor surpluses in the former and labor shortages in the latter. This massive migration transformed the geographic distribution of the population, in tandem with the economic transformation caused by the Industrial Revolution. We argue that demographic literature on historical population processes in England & Wales in the 19th Century has paid insufficient attention to the role of internal migration.

英国人口转型与工业革命:城乡逆过程

我们提出了一个19世纪英格兰和威尔士人口变化的模型。该模型突出了农村和城市部门的人口和经济过程的对比，作为农村向城市迁移的核心解释，前者源于劳动力过剩，后者源于劳动力短缺。随着工业革命带来的经济转型，这种大规模的移民改变了人口的地理分布。我们认为，关于19世纪英格兰和威尔士历史人口过程的人口统计学文献对内部移民的作用关注不足。
