The means to marry: population and economy in pre-industrial England.


 The relationship between marriage trends and long-term economic trends in preindustrial England is explored using data developed through aggregative back projection by the Cambridge Group for the History of Population and Social Structure. The results show that marriage became more difficult and therefore less frequent in worsening economic conditions, and easier and therefore more frequent when the economic climate was improving. The author speculates on the links between this relationship and the creation of conditions favorable to the industrial revolution.
