'Die Religion ist ein Faktor, von dem erwartet wird, dass er das demographische Verhalten beeinflusst. Zum Beispiel sollte es die lang anhaltende Opposition der katholischen Kirche gegen Kontrazeption Paaren schwierig gemacht haben, den Umfang ihrer Familien zu kontrollieren, von denen oft angenommen wird, dass sie größer als der Durchschnitt waren. Seit der Arbeit von Landes (1976) werden große Familien, welche den intensiven Katholizismus der Gruppe widerspiegeln, als einer der Gründe für Nordfrankreichs schnelle Industrialisierung im 19. Jahrhundert beschrieben. Eine Studie des generativen Verhaltens der Industriellen zeigt indes, dass diese sozioökonomische Gruppe ihre Nachkommenschaft als Antwort auf ökonomischen Zwang begrenzte. Obwohl die Religion wahrscheinlich einen Einfluss auf ihre Fertilität hatte, wirkte sie nicht determinierend.' (Autorenreferat)... view less

'The religion is a factor expected to influence demographic behaviour. The Catholic church's long standing opposition to contraception for instance should have made it difficult for couples to control the size of their family, and they are often assumed to have had larger than average ones. Since the work of Landes (1976), large families reflecting the groups intense Catholicism have been described as one of the reasons behind northern France's rapid industrialization in the nineteenth century. A study of the demographic behaviour of the industrialists however reveals that this socio-economic group limited the size of its descendence in response to economic constraint. Although religion probably had an impact on their fertility, it did not determine it.' (author's abstract)... view less
