Washington, D.C. In Eng.
"This article examines seasonal behavior
in the population of Taiwan between 1906 and 1942, during Japanese
colonial rule. First, we analyze seasonal demographic cycles and their
ties to the cultural calendar and agriculture. Second, we compare
seasonality in two regions (Xinzhu and Tainan) that experienced
different agricultural development under the colonial regime. Findings
demonstrate that demographic seasonality was less pronounced when urban
development and colonial agricultural intensification produced more
heterogeneous seasonal patterns of labor. We find that changes in
agricultural organization, rather than purely a shift to
nonagricultural production, may significantly reduce established
seasonal timing of demographic behavior....The analysis focuses on
demographic cycles in marriages, births, and deaths among the
Taiwanese. Data were derived from aggregated 1906-1943 time series of
vital events for the total population, sex-specific vital events, and
events within the regions of Tainan and Xinzhu over
1920-1938...."
