Depopulation and ageing in Castile-Leon during the twentieth century: an analysis through female migration and the loss of births
Abstract
The article analyzes depopulation and ageing in the Spanish region of Castile-Leon during the twentieth century. We offer a novel methodological approach based on focusing on migrating women in reproductive age and the subsequent “loss” of births. We present new series of female migration for every province (differentiating province capitals from rural areas) from 1908 onwards. Our results show an intense regional process of depopulation and ageing that was the result of both the direct impact of migration and the indirect impact of migration on births. We also find opposing trends between urban and rural areas.
