Reihe: Global Economic History Series / The Quantitative Economic History of China

This book offers a unique dataset of the 1947 household register of the
Wudu County (Gansu Province) in China. It also includes preliminary
analyses of occupation, education, marriage, and the distribution of
wealth in the villages of Wudu.

These analyses, based on the available population register data, are not
only of importance as they have never been published before, but also
because they reveal various socio-economic features of villagers’ lives
on the individual level. They thus enable readers of this book to ask
innovative questions and address them, contributing to the literature on
the historical development of Chinese demography.

This is Part 1 of a 3-volume set.
