This book is a quantitative study into the influence of the process
of industrialisation on the nature and strength of family
relationships in a Dutch community between 1850 and 1920. The study
makes use of the unique and unusually rich source of Dutch
population registers, which enables the author to trace the history
of individual households. The study closely relates aspects of
family and household with the social processes characteristic of an
industrialising society, such as increasing rates of social and
geographical mobility and the shift of production from the home
into the factory. Results reveal a striking continuity in the
strength of nineteenth-century family relations despite the gradual
but profound process of social change surrounding these families.
Changes in behavioural patterns did occur, however, under the
influence of changes in demographic rates, regional geographical
mobility systems and local developments in the housing market.
Nevertheless, these changes cannot be taken as a weakening of
family relationships.
