- Abstract
The article discusses the intersections of household structure, resource allocation, and child well-being of 30,000 Dutch children from 1850 to 1909 in reference to the mortality of two distinct groups, the infants in the stem family region of the Eastern Netherlands and the infants in the nuclear family region of the Northwestern Netherlands. Other topics discussed include the impacts of cohabiting kin, especially in the context of one or two missing parents, labor division in households and illness and environmental contaminants.
