Citation Type: Journal Article

Publication Year: 2005

Abstract: The aim of this study is not only to understand the character of the NAPP (North AtlanticPopulation Project) database, but also I want to use it and grasp the traditional family structureof America, Canada, Great Britain and Ireland in the late 19th century.First, I take up the character of the Minnesota Population Center (MPC). MPC was establishedin 2000 and has been putting seven projects and one of them is NAPP.Second, NAPP brings together compete-count census data the late nineteenth centuryAmerica, Canada, Great Britain, Iceland and Norway into a single harmonized database. This projectsconsistently code all variables, across in different countries. Its database contains two variables,namely the direct variables from the census returns and the constructed variables as thehousehold composition.Third, I use the database of England and Wales of 1881 census returns for analyzing the familystructure of the Irish immigrants of Ireland after Great Famine.As the result of above analyzing we had the following conclusion. 1) I found that the distributionof the Irish immigrants concentrated on the some area, namely North-Western England(40.1%), London (14.5%), Northern England (11.7%) and Yorkshire (10.4%). 2) The head ofthe household of the Irish immigrants had mainly semi-skilled and unskilled workers and informalsectors and the ratio of their workers was approximately over the half the number. 3) On the familystructure of the Irish immigrants, the type of simple family households (73.8%) was dominatedin the late 19th century as well as the same type of Great Britain (72.4%). However whenwe compared the type of the family by using the detailed tabulation of composition of kin groupper 100 households, we could find a small difference in the two types between the Irish immigrantsand the native Great Britain. The family of Irish immigrants had more slim and variablethan the type of Great Britain, but it was included many borders and lodgers, because the Irishimmigrants had the limitation of the extension of kinship and the strong relations of communityspirit of Ireland.Last, I showed the recent movements of the database of census in America, Canada and UnitedKingdom in the near future.
