  • Title: [Family structure and rural exodus. The case of Saint-Damase, 1852-1861].
    Author: Maisonneuve D.
    Journal: Cah Que Demogr; 1985 Oct; 14(2):231-40. PubMed ID: 12314322.
    Abstract:
    Using data from a nominative census for a Quebec parish for the decade 1852-1861, the author shows that the rural exodus was primarily the result of entire families leaving rather than individuals leaving to relieve the pressure on large families. "Moreover, the migration behavior of rural families seems to have been determined by their socio-economic situation, in a process wherein variables related to family structure and fertility did not have a significant role."
