Evolution of the population of Catalonia in the 16th and 17th centuries. Stagnation, crisis and growth
The lack of accounts of the population of Catalonia in the 17th century has made it a difficult century to study. This paper proposes the massive use of parish records to review the demographic evolution of this century and form an explanation of it. This evolution is characterized by a stagnation caused by a deep crisis in the middle of the century, followed by a recovery towards its end. We develop an explanation for the high mortality rate, and especially the catastrophic and moderate fertility. Data on 16th-century population growth are also provided.
