These papers are arranged for international comparison, and they individually examine evidence of health and welfare during and after industrialization in eight countries: the United States, Britain, Sweden, the Netherlands, France, Germany, Japan, and Australia. The essays incorporate several indicators of quality of life, especially real per capita income and health, but also real wages, education, and inequality. And while the authors use traditional measures of health such as life expectancy and mortality rates, this volume stands alone in its extensive use of new "anthropometric" data-information about height, weight and body mass index that indicates changes in nations' well-being. Consequently, Health and Welfare during Industrialization signals a new direction in economic history, a broader and more thorough understanding of what constitutes standard of living. 410 0$aNational Bureau of Economic Research project report. 606 $aPublic health$xEconomic aspects 606 $aIndustrialization$xHealth aspects 606 $aQuality of life 606 $aStature$xEconomic aspects 610 $ainequality, education, real wages, per capita income, quality of life, industrialization, australia, japan, germany, france, the netherlands, sweden, britain, united states, body mass index, mortality, standard living, public health, economic growth, welfare, height, gender, women, poverty, modernization, wurttemberg, nonfiction, economics. 615 0$aPublic health$xEconomic aspects. 615 0$aIndustrialization$xHealth aspects. 615 0$aQuality of life. 615 0$aStature$xEconomic aspects. 676 $a338.4/33621 701 $aSteckel$b Richard H$g(Richard Hall),$f1944-$01620587 701 $aFloud$b Roderick$0121580 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aDOCUMENT 912 $a9910817930603321 996 $aHealth and welfare during industrialization$93953444 997 $aUNINA
