(orcid)0000-0002-8150-9823 FERTILITY CONTROL DUE TO SHORT-TERM ECONOMIC STRESS IN RURAL ARAGÓN (SPAIN), 1801–1909 2019 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted This paper deals with the permanent existence of deliberate fertility control arising from short-term economic stress among rural farm workers. The micro-level analysis uses the family reconstitution method for ten rural Spanish localities. The husband's socio-economic level is regarded as an indicator of the family's socio-economic status. According to the available data, human agency between 1801 and 1909 resulted in a negative fertility response among all farm groups, with this negative response being especially strong among the landless and semi-landless. The existence of a rapid fertility control response suggests that such control was a voluntary decision. Since the end of the 19thcentury, the number of economic shocks due to high prices has reduced. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess All rights reserved http://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 0.581 2019 HISTORY 37 / 99 = 0.374 2019 Q2 T2 HISTORY OF SOCIAL SCIENCES 17 / 34 = 0.5 2019 Q2 T2 ECONOMICS 327 / 371 = 0.881 2019 Q4 T3 0.383 2019 History 2019 Q1 Economics and Econometrics 2019 Q3 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 39, 1 (2019), 129-155 Rev. hist. ecón.
