| Title | Infant Mortality in Interwar Budapest, Social, territorial, confessional and occupational aspects of the demographic transition in a multicultural metropolis |
| Summary | The interwar years were a significant period of the demographic transition with changing death and birth rates. Mortality decline affected also infant mortality. Besides being a demographic indicator, infant mortality may also serve as an indicator of a country’s state of modernization as it is a result of many complex social, cultural and economic causes. Among the social determinants the effects of residency, available health care and the socio-economic position of families are investigated in the thesis. The multiethnic, multi-confessional population of Budapest was the focus of the analysis with a comparative perspective of Hungary. |
