Population in the province of Burgos, 1700-1850
Abstract
This work approaches the demographic evolution of the province of Burgos through the study of parish register data (baptism and deceased), out of a sample of, respectively, 19 and 18 localities in the province. Analysis of the series shows a considerable population growth up until around 1759, and a stagnation phase after that.
As for mortality, the majority of crisis take place during the first half of the XVIIIth century, the 1803-05 crisis being however the most acute. Vegetative growth, concentrated in the second quarters of both centuries, is clearly more important than population growth; which constitutes a sign that emigration could have been more significant than what was being assumed.
