Would anyone be interested in giving a
paper at a day conference next year
(venue to be decided) on the
Demography of War
Looking at the changes in Britain's
population during the period 1911 to
1951 with possible themes including: -
+ Illegitimacy.
+ Women's without Men - enforced
spinsterhood 1914 to 1944.
+ The evacuation of 1939
+ The 1939 enumeration
+ Fertility in the inter-war period.
+ The 1951 fertility census.
+ The 1948 Royal Commission on
Population.
This would be for the Local Population
Studies Society. Most of our members
are not academics although most are
professionals with degrees or similar
qualifications but NOT IN statistics or
demography.
The standard of paper would need to be
at the level of a well-educated reader
of the Guardian, Scotsman or
Telegraph. IE. Interesting,
informative BUT NOT TO statistical or
mathematical.
