Measuring social structure in the past: a comparison of historical class schemes and occupational stratification scales on Dutch 19th and early 20th century data.

Richard L. Zijdeman
Paul S. Lambert
To what degree are HISCO based measures of class (HISCLASS and SOCPO) and occupational stratification (HIS-CAM) comparable with each other and contemporary measures? Next to a large degree of congruency, we find considerable differences between the measures, raising questions concerning the comparability of occupation-based measures across studies.

The era of the housewife? The construction of 'work' and the 'active' population in the Belgian population census (1947, 1961 & 1970).

Hannelore Vandebroek
Leen VAN MOLLE
The 1950s are often considered the era of the housewife as both a practice and an ideology. The available statistics support this interpretation: very few married women worked during the 1940s and 1950s, and female employment increased rapidly from the 1970s onwards. However, a gender analysis of the language of the Belgian post-war censuses (1947, 1961 & 1970) and of the concepts behind those numbers reveals that the censuses tell us more about the contemporary definition of work, than about female labour participation.

Godsdienst en geboorte bij rurale protestanten en katholieken in Oost-Vlaanderen (1846-1910).

Sarah Moreels
In deze bijdrage wordt het demografisch gedrag van verschillende religieuze groeperingen voor het eerst onderzocht in België. Concreet wordt de invloed van godsdienst op de daling van de vruchtbaarheid tijdens de periode 1846-1910 onderzocht in de protestantse gemeente Korsele en het katholieke dorpje Paulatem. Met behulp van de gezinsreconstructie worden de directe determinanten van de vruchtbaarheid op een descriptieve en multivariate wijze geanalyseerd.

Romantic love and marriage. A study of age homogamy in 19th century Leuven.

Bart Van de Putte
Koen Matthijs
The aim of this article is to explore the relation between age homogamy and the increasing importance of romantic love, using the certificates of first marriages in nineteenth century Leuven. Alternative explanations of age homogamy are evaluated. Also the methodological consequences of the historical decline of the age-at-marriage are taken into account. The results of the analysis show that especially the cultural middle class has an increasing preference for same age partners, which can be linked with the growing importance of romantic love during the second half of the nineteenth century.

Mortality in Ghent, 1850-1950. A social analysis of death.

Jeroen Backs
Is death unjust? Do rich people live longer than poor people? Research for the city of Ghent has succeeded in eluding this issue. During the nineteenth and twentieth century there was an important social differentiation of death. This inequality increased until the beginning of the past century, due to a growing infant and child mortality caused by bad feeding habits and a widespread use of child labour.

The decline of infant mortality in the Belgian districts at the turn of the 20th century.

Marc Debuisson
This analysis studies the decrease of infant mortality in Belgium at the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century. In a cluster analysis Belgian districts are grouped together according to the level of infant mortality and the rhythm of decline. These results are confronted with contemporary literature, in particular with medical commission reports. It appears that the spread of the basic principles of child care, through the creation of infant dispensaries, played an important role around World War I.
