Young adults (age 15-24) were most likely to move - out of rural areas and towards cities and industrial areas. Older adults were far less likely to move www.populationspast.org/nmr4554/1891...
Exciting new census-linking project about to start at @camunicampop.bsky.social !
🆕PopulationsPast.org now has cause- and age-specific mortality rates, and age- and sex-specific net migration rates!
For example, in 1871 external causes of death (accidents, violence and suicide) among young adults was highest in industrial and fishing areas www.populationspast.org/vio1544/1871...

In the next five years, we are going to do LOTS of census linking 🔗🔗🔗🔗🔗, produce new transcriptions of all UK censuses 1841-1921, and use these to study migrations and demographic transitions, thanks to @ukri.org !
Sneak peek at: www.geolinking.hist.cam.ac.uk
"Using an innovative blend of record linkage, machine learning, and historical geocoding, the team ... will give an unprecedented, population-scale view of life over this period, and unlock questions about major social, economic, and demographic changes that were once impossible to answer."
The Population Investigation Committee is recruiting for an Editor-in-Chief or team of Editors-in-Chief for Population Studies: A journal of demography.
