Social, Demographic, and Educational Data for France, 1801-1897

This data collection consists of 161 selected social, demographic, and educational datasets for France in the period 1801-1897. The data were collected from published reports of three national statistical series: (1) National Censuses, (2) Vital Statistics, and (3) Primary Education. This project was supported by grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the National Science Foundation. The National Census data were derived from the quinquennial population censuses of France from 1801 to 1896 and were obtained from the Statistique Generale de la France. The data provide detailed social and economic information for the period 1851 to 1896. The data for 1801-1851 are less rich in subject matter coverage but do present some basic information on population characteristics. The National Census data in general describe the population, including the composition of the population by categories of age, sex, place of birth, marital status, religion, place of residence, and occupation. There is also some limited information on migration, transportation and communication, housing, and families. A large segment of the census data pertains to occupations of the population, specifying job classifications within professions, as well as information on non-employed household members that were dependent on employees in the various industries, in addition to enumerations of persons employed in various professions and trades. The Vital Statistics data files contain annual vital statistics for the French population. These data were obtained from two printed series, MOUVEMENT DE LA POPULATION (1801-1868), and STATISTIQUE ANNUELLE (1869-1897). The basic variables included in the vital statistics datasets record births, deaths, and marriages in France. Detailed cross-tabulations of these demographic indicators are presented for births, tabulated by sex, month, legitimacy status, and characteristics of the parents, and deaths, categorized by age and previous marital status of the partners. Additional cross-tabulations are provided for variables such as divorces, passports issued, medical personnel and hospitals, and a literacy indicator (signing of marriage certificates). The Primary Education data files provide information on primary schools and were obtained from the Statistique de l'enseignement Primaire. The data obtained from the series basically cover the period 1829-1897, although some recapitulative information for earlier years is also presented. The main focus of the data in this series is on primary schools, classes and buildings, enrollment, teachers, sources of funding and expenditure, and academic proficiency of the pupils. Additional information is included on literacy, teacher training (normal) schools, school age population, and libraries. A machine-readable French language codebook, describing the data items as well as the sources from which they were obtained, is provided with each dataset supplied. In addition, lists of the variables included in each dataset are included in Parts 162-164.

本数据集汇聚了自1801年至1897年间法国精选的161个社会、人口统计学和教育数据集。数据源自三个国家统计系列发布的报告：（1）国家人口普查，（2）生命统计，（3）初等教育。该项目得到了国家人文基金会和国家科学基金会的资助。国家人口普查数据源于1801年至1896年的五年一次的法国人口普查，并由法国国家统计局提供。这些数据为1851年至1896年期间提供了详细的社会和经济信息。1801年至1851年的数据在主题覆盖面上较为有限，但仍呈现了人口特征的一些基本信息。总体而言，国家人口普查数据描述了人口构成，包括按年龄、性别、出生地、婚姻状况、宗教、居住地和职业分类的人口构成。此外，还包含关于移民、交通与通信、住房和家庭等方面的有限信息。普查数据中很大一部分与人口职业相关，详细说明了职业内部的职业分类，以及依赖于各产业雇员的非就业家庭成员信息，此外还包括了不同职业和行业中的就业人员统计。生命统计数据文件包含了法国人口的年度生命统计数据。这些数据来自两个印刷系列：《人口流动》（1801-1868）和《年度统计》（1869-1897）。生命统计数据集的基本变量记录了法国的出生、死亡和婚姻情况。详细展示了这些人口指标的交叉表，包括按性别、月份、合法性状态和父母特征分类的出生数据，以及按年龄和配偶先前婚姻状况分类的死亡数据。此外，还提供了关于离婚、颁发的护照、医疗人员和医院以及婚姻证书签署的识字率指标等变量的交叉表。初等教育数据文件提供了关于小学的信息，并来源于《初等教育统计》。从该系列获得的数据基本上覆盖了1829年至1897年期间，同时亦呈现了早年的一些总结信息。该数据系列的主要关注点是小学、班级和建筑、招生、教师、资金来源和支出，以及学生的学术能力。此外，还包含了关于识字率、教师培训（师范）学校、学龄人口和图书馆的信息。每个数据集均附带了可机器读取的法国语言代码簿，描述了数据项及其来源。此外，还包括了包含在每个数据集中的变量列表，详见第162至164部分。参见相关系列《1833-1925年法国的人口、社会、教育及经济数据》（ICPSR 7529）。
