  1. The household position of the elderly during the 18-19th centuries in the Carpathian Basin: Pilot studies from Hungarian micro-databases Tamás Faragó (BCE), Peter Őri and Levente Pakot (DRI)

  2. Proportions of elderly persons (60+) in three countries (1760-2001)

  3. Regional differences in the proportion of elderly persons in the Hungarian Kingdom (1880)

  4. Basic data of the „Hungary 1760” sample (Preliminary version)

  5. Marital status of the elderly persons in Hungary (1760)

  6. Household position by sex of elderly persons (1760)

  7. Conclusion and summary (I.) • The regional picture of elderly indicates several factors influencing the level, the pace, and the character of ageing; • The detailed analysis of a sample from the 18th century Hungary suggest remarkable differences between the village and town population, as well as among the cultural groups, and between the ancient and newly settled inhabitants; • The position of the elderly in pre-industrial Hungary is much nearer to the traditional view on the ageing than to the picture of early modern North-Western European populations formed about.

  8. Outline • 1. Data (collection supported by MPIDR in the framework of MOSAIC project) • 2. Descriptive statistics • 3. Multivariate analysis • 4. Conclusions

  9. Data Sample from Census 1869: General characteristics

  10. DataSample from Census 1869: Denominational Distribution (%)

  11. DataSample from Census 1869: Occupational Distribution (%)

  12. DataSample from Census 1869:Household Structure (L.-H. typ.) (%)

  13. Descriptive resultsEstimates of the Older Pop. (%)

  15. Descriptive results% of the Older Pop. Living in Various Resid. Arrangements (married women/men)

  16. Descriptive results% of the Older Pop. Living in Various Resid. Arrangements (widowed women/men)

  17. Multivariate approach: results of MLREffects of Age, Sex and Marital Status

  18. Multivariate approach: results of MLREffects of Occupation

  19. Multivariate approach: results of MLREffects of Religion and Region

  20. Conclusions (questions and future developments) • The sample proved to be suitable for the analysis of residential arrangements of the elderly • Significant effects of age, sex and marital status and occupation • The interpretation of the effects of religion and region need further analysis: the consequence of different economic conditions or different value system? • The need for enlarging the actual sample for inter- and intra-regional comparative analysis
