Abstract:
Abstract This paper is a study of changes in nuptiality by province in Europe between 1870 and 1960: nuptiality is measured by I(m) a summary measure of the proportions married among women of childbearing age. In each of the approximately 500 provinces of Europe the level of nuptiality increased between 1870 and 1960. In addition, in most countries the differences among provinces diminished over the period, so that the countries were more homogeneous with respect to provincial nuptiality in 1960 than they had been in 1870. Despite this tendency to convergence, traditional regional differences, linked to a common regional history, were often maintained, though within a narrower range.
