Demographic and social structure of population in Beroun region in the half of the 17th century

The aim of this Master thesis is to describe demographic and social structure of Beroun region in the half of the 17th century. The thesis is based on the data from the Register of Religion Affiliation from 1651, which was published by the National Chancery. The work is divided into two parts; in the first part there is a description of the Beroun region in the half of 17th century and the sources and methods used in the work are commented there. The second part contains analytic chapters such as demographic structure of the population, families and household structure and also the social structure of the population. Special attention is paid to the estimates of the population which was not included in the source, especially children from 0 to 13 years. The analyses confirmed that population in the half of the 17th century had progressive demographic structure, which was, however, deformed as a result of the previous war years (especially as a consequence of the plague epidemics). The important part of the thesis is the comparison with other regions of Bohemia in the same period. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org
