Special attention is given to unravelling the separate effects of both factors, sib size and birth order. Based on data from the 1991 Spanish Sociodemographic Survey (SDS), findings in Spain support the theoretical framework of the family conditional resource dilution model and indicate that both number of siblings and birth order have been important and relatively independent factors in reducing educational attainment. The association of family size and birth order with educational attainment was contingent to a significant extent on socio-economic status. Whereas the educational consequences of number of siblings are not uniformly distributed by social class, the results for birth order are much more homogeneous. This suggests that parents in high socioeconomic statuses were able to limit the effects of dilution induced by the number of siblings while the dynamics of the dilution of resources associated with the birth order depended, in part, on factors not entirely controllable by families.","PeriodicalId":46118,"journal":{"name":"History of the Family","volume":"28 1","pages":"149 - 179"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45793191","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Different measures of nutritional status – such as height or weight, for example, – may have different associations with health outcomes because they reflect both current nutritional status and the accumulation of past health experiences, but the weighting of past and present experiences differs between different measures. Here, we present an analysis of a longitudinal dataset, collected between 1950 and 1974 in four Gambian villages, to investigate whether three different measures – height, body mass index (BMI) or haemoglobin level – are associated with adult mortality. We interpret these different measures as indicators of different types of physical ‘capital’ that vary in their liquidity. Adult height represents ‘illiquid’ capital, indicative of nutritional status in the past, during different periods of development. BMI, determined both by past childhood experiences and recent nutrition and health exposures, represents capital of intermediate ‘liquidity’. Haemoglobin represents ‘liquid’ capital, determined largely by recent environmental exposures. We find, not unexpectedly, that the more ‘liquid’ measures of capital show clearer associations with adult mortality: for haemoglobin there is a negative relationship with mortality risk for both sexes: BMI is also broadly negatively related to mortality risk for both men and women, though overweight individuals suffer a slightly increased risk of death. For men, there is no relationship between the ‘illiquid’ measure of height and adult mortality; but for women, there is a U-shaped relationship, with women of average height having the lowest mortality.","PeriodicalId":46118,"journal":{"name":"History of the Family","volume":"28 1","pages":"360 - 381"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46918400","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Research on Asia is far easier than on historical Europe, given the scope for in-depth studies of a contemporary phenomenon instead of using available historical data. Levels of sex-selection have also been high in Asia, which makes it easier to analyze its correlates. This enables developing hypotheses that might be useful in studies of historical Europe. Studies in Asia indicate that, in rigidly patrilineal societies, son preference forms part of households’ strategy for managing their assets and risks. The extent of sex-selection varied enormously over time within a given setting, rising sharply when households faced heightened risk --- such as war, or the unwinding of Communist regimes that offered communal access to resources --- and decreasing as modern state pension systems mature. These household strategies also affect the life-chances of other household members, including marriage restriction to reduce asset fragmentation. Kinship systems shape the rights of different categories of household members and the norms of cooperation between them — including between generations, spouses, and siblings of different genders and birth orders. This paper offers some hypotheses on the implications of variations in patrilineal kinship systems in Europe for the life-chances of different categories of household members. For purposes of constructing hypotheses that can be tested if data permit, the European kinship systems are contrasted in a stylized way, as those based on a ‘lifeboat’ ethic of jettisoning non-heirs from the household, versus those based on a more ‘corporate’ ethic in which the household seeks to support all its members. Historical demographers working on Europe have rich fields to explore, given the region’s diversity: of kinship systems, of economic opportunities, and of exposure to major risks such as wars, famine, and the establishment and dis-establishment of Communism.","PeriodicalId":46118,"journal":{"name":"History of the Family","volume":"27 1","pages":"791 - 800"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45751016","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The article shows that child sex ratios were, on average, relatively low (around 98 boys per hundred girls) due to the biological female advantage: the extremely high infant and child mortality rates took a greater toll on boys and pushed sex ratios down. These figures, however, hide significant geographical variation and the number of boys (relative to girls) was especially high in Southern, Western and Northern Russia. Apart from the direct impact that different mortality environments could have exerted on sex-specific mortality rates and therefore on the sex ratios of the surviving children, this article explores the potential role of economic, ethnic and religious factors and suggest that particular contexts shaped the perceived relative value of girls and resulted in discriminatory practices against girls. In particular, our results show the importance of different ethnic groups in explaining these patterns conditional on economic and religious factors. In addition, the residuals of our models show clear spatial patterns, thus suggesting that unobserved factors were playing an additional role in explaining son preference. Lastly, this article demonstrate a positive link between historical sex ratios and female discriminatory norms in modern societies and therefore points to persisting factors affecting gender imbalances.","PeriodicalId":46118,"journal":{"name":"History of the Family","volume":"27 1","pages":"736 - 763"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46661449","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We examine the case study of the Swiss Alpine canton of Glarus, which was highly industrialised at the beginning of the 20th century. Our study links conscription registers to genealogical registers at the individual level in Switzerland for the first time. We analyse whether body height, BMI, socioeconomic position (HISCLASS), region of residence, fitness to serve (as a proxy for health status in a military context), and goitre status (as a proxy for iodine deficiency) in young adulthood are associated with lifespan. We transcribed conscription records of 1073 men born between 1905 and 1907 and recruited between 1925 and 1927 (coverage birth cohorts 96%). Of the 827 young men residing within the canton, we were able to identify 635 (76.8%) in the cantonal genealogical register. Using body height, chest circumference, and upper arm circumference, we estimated BMI. We find socioeconomic differences for height and estimated BMI at conscription age. Young men with a recorded goitre were taller. We also present a positive association between body height and lifespan, with small men being particularly disadvantaged. In a small subsample of two municipalities, we estimated the heritability of height to be 65%.","PeriodicalId":46118,"journal":{"name":"History of the Family","volume":"28 1","pages":"339 - 359"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46778236","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
