摘要

本文通过研究双胞胎的命运，揭示了工业化前西班牙存在的歧视性做法。对一个小农村地区(17个村庄)的完整教区登记册的分析表明，女性双胞胎在出生时以及在婴儿期和儿童期都受到歧视。不仅受洗时双胞胎的性别比例极不平衡，而且歧视在整个婴儿期和儿童期持续存在，导致女性死亡率过高，尽管男性在生理上更脆弱。尽管双胞胎极高的死亡率质疑了双胞胎对家庭决策构成外源性冲击的观点，因为他们对家庭预算的影响，但研究双胞胎有助于更多地揭示歧视模式，因为许多家庭优先考虑男性双胞胎，以提高他们的生存机会。

Assessing gender discrimination during infancy and childhood using twins: The case of rural Spain, 1750-1950

ABSTRACT This article uncovers the existence of discriminatory practices in pre-industrial Spain by examining the fate of twins. The analysis of the complete parish registers of a small rural area (17 villages) shows that female twins were discriminated both at birth and during infancy and childhood. Not only the sex ratio of twins at baptism was extremely unbalanced, but discrimination continued throughout infancy and childhood and resulted in female excess mortality, despite that males are biologically more vulnerable. Although their extremely high mortality rates question the idea that twins constituted an exogenous shock to family decisions due to their impact of the family budget, studying twins helps shedding more light on discriminatory patterns because many families prioritised male twins to enhance their survival chances.
