Early modern demography
Early modern demography is the demography of the world after the end of the medieval period, encompassing the whole of the Early modern period until the availability of accurate census records and other data which form the basis for contemporary demography.
Depending on the context, the end of the medieval world and the beginning of the modern may be dated to the Black Death in the middle of the 14th Century, the Fall of Constantinople in the middle of the 15th Century, or the Age of Exploration and the resulting epidemic deaths.
Early modern demography in Europe
Karl Julius Beloch estimated the population of early modern Europe, circa 1600, as follows:[1]
- Italy, 13,000,000
- Spain and Portugal, 10,000,000
- France, 16,000,000, in its boundaries in 1600[2]
- England and Wales, 4,500,000
- Scotland and Ireland, 2,000,000
- Netherlands, 3,000,000, including the Spanish Netherlands in 1600[3]
- Denmark, 600,000
- Sweden, Norway, and Finland: 1,400,000
- Poland with Prussia: 3,000,000
