DEMOGRAPHY OF SWEDEN.
115-
The movement of population in different >l&ns>.
The division of the population according to place of living, sex,
age, occupation, etc. constitutes what is called at times the Stand of the
population. The changes among the people by marriages, births, deaths,
immigration, and emigration constitute the second division of demography
and is called the Movement of the population. Each one of the chapters
belonging to this division is in the following pages treated by itself;
but, in order to save space, the principal data for the different läns
are collected and given in Table 15, p. 114. This table relates to the
decade 1881/90, the latest period for which more special calculations
can yet be made. The contents of the table can be partly seen on
the maps following and the subject is again touched upon at the
presentation of the figures for the entire country; some of its principal
features are already pointed out on p. 92. We must remember that
the decade which has just ended (1891/1900) is marked by a
considerably smaller emigration than the period 1881/90, and thus also by
a greater increase of population. From 1880 to 1890 the population
was lessened in nine läns, as shown by Table 15, and from 1890 to
1900, only in four (Kronoberg, Kalmar, Kristianstad, and Skaraborg);
the figures for the yearly increase during the last mentioned decade are
given on p. 98.
Civil condition and marriages.
The fairest picture of Sweden’s demography is that presented by the
chapter on mortality; the most unsatisfactory, that presented by the
chapter dealing with the statistics of marriages, and with those of
emigration.
The division of the population of Sweden as regards their civil
condition during the period 1751/1895 is given, in relative numbers,
by Table 16.
