Sibship size and the biological standard of living in industrial Catalonia, c.1860-c.1920: a case study

By using military records and population censuses this article investigates the relationship between sibship size and the biological living standards of young males, as measured by height. Focusing on a medium-sized industrial town in Catalonia the analysis shows that the impact of sibship size on c...
