Different household formation systems in Hungary at the end of the eighteenth century: variations on John Hajnal's thesis

Verschiedene Haushaltsbildungssysteme in Ungarn am Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts: Variationen zu John Hajnal's These

Hajnals bahnbrechende Theorie über europäische Heiratsmuster und Haushaltsbildung wird an demographischen Daten aus dem vorindustriellen ländlichen Ungarn, hauptsächlich der Jahre 1777 und 1787, überprüft. Hajnals Thesen und Prämissen wie auch die seiner Kritiker werden wiedergegeben. Diesbezüglich werden die allgemeine demographische Situation Ungarns und seine regionalen Unterschiede analysiert und grafisch veranschaulicht. Die statistische Analyse von Variablen wie 'Anteil der unter 21jährigen Ehemänner', 'Anteil der Söhne und männlichen Erben' oder 'Anteil verheirateter Jungknechte unter den Einwanderern' usw. ergeben keine klare Übereinstimmung mit Hajnals Regeln der Haushaltsstrukturbildung und ihrer territorialen Verteilung. Damit kann Hajnals Theorie keine demographischen und gesellschaftlichen Prozesse erklären, aber zu weiterer Forschung anregen. (prf)... view less

'John Hajnal's pathbreaking paper about the European marriage patterns and his household formation theory provoked high interest between the researchers even far beyond the border of the historical demographic research. Examining them through the Hungarian sources we can say that both the declared factors and variables of household formation and their regional strength and territorial distribution cannot be interpreted unanimously and adequately with the rules established by John Hajnal. Maybe it is better not to think in universalistic regimes but, moreover, adapt a regional and temporal frame of reference. Such 'grand theories' as John Hajnal's household formation system model fulfil much more the role to provoke further research then the key to interpret the institutions arranging the structure and processes of population and society.'
