结合经济与人口数据,研究19世纪末20世纪初斯德哥尔摩的生活水平不平等,发现尽管死亡率绝对下降,但社会经济群体间的相对差异几乎不变,且儿童死亡率对工资波动敏感,但无群体差异。

Abstract

This work combines economic and demographic data to examine inequality of living standards in Stockholm at the turn of the twentieth century. Using a longitudinal population register with occupational information, we utilize event-history models to show that despite absolute decreases in mortality, relative differences between socioeconomic groups remained virtually constant. The results also show that child mortality continued to be sensitive to short-term fluctuations in wages and that there were no socioeconomic differences in this response. We argue that the persistent inequality in living standards was possibly due to differences in residential patterns and nutrition.
