Az agrártársadalom differenciáltsága 18. századi településsoros összeírások kvantitatív elemzése alapján (1720–1796)
The Differentiation of the Agrarian Society Based on a Quantitative Analysis of 18th Century Settlement Censuses (1720–1796)

Summary/Abstract: In this paper we attempt to evaluate the results of the database building process executed within the framework of the project HAS–RCH “Lendület” Ten Generations. Instead of the regional approach used in our previous studies, this paper focuses on other dimensions of inequalities. Using data from the 18th-century conscriptions and censuses aggregated at settlement level, we seek to analyse the differences in the socio-economic-demographic behaviour of different ethnic and religious groups before the reform era, and to trace, which linguistic-religious groups were over- and under-represented among the most underdeveloped settlements. We also investigated how the development level of the basic cultural infrastructure or the quality of land related to other socio-economic indicators, and what socio-economic demographic differences characterized settlements of different legal status/ population/hierarchical level in the 18th century. Finally, we examined if distance from the market left any imprint on socio-economic characteristics.
