It does so using several types and sources of information from the census unit England and Wales, and from Ireland. The sources of information used in this study include memoirs, diaries, poems, church records and numerical accounts. They offer descriptions of the quality of life and child mortality over the three centuries under study. Additional sources for the nineteenth century are two census-derived numerical indexes of the quality of life. They are the VICQUAL index for England and Wales, and the QUALEIRE index for Ireland. Statistical procedures have been applied to the numbers provided by the sources with the aim to identify effects of and associations between such variables as gender, age, and social background. The book examines the results to consider the impact of children?s deaths upon parents and families, and concludes that there are differences and continuities across the centuries. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in well-being and quality of life research. 606 $aChildren$xMortality$zGreat Britain$xHistory 606 $aChildren$xMortality$zIreland$xHistory 606 $aChildren$xMortality$xRegional disparities$xHistory 615 0$aChildren$xMortality$xHistory. 615 0$aChildren$xMortality$xHistory. 615 0$aChildren$xMortality$xRegional disparities$xHistory. 676 $a304.640830903 700 $aJordan$b Thomas E. $00 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910739475203321 996 $aStudies in the Quality of Life in Victorian Britain and Ireland$93553223 997 $aUNINA
