Abstract:

Trends in differential mortality by sex are analyzed at the regional level in Belgium using data from official sources, including the 1890 census. The authors consider mortality differences by size and type of place of residence, with a focus on female mortality by education and type of economic activity. The results suggest that both the economic activity of children and urbanization had important impacts on regional mortality differences in nineteenth-century Belgium. (ANNOTATION)
