人口动态登记的历史吸引了社会历史学家和历史人口学家的大量关注。虽然大部分的研究都涉及到生育率和死亡率的问题,但有争议的死胎问题--介于两者之间的福尔斯--却在很大程度上被忽视了。虽然民事出生和死亡登记于1855年引入苏格兰,但死产登记直到1939年才开始。使用一系列的法律的,医学和统计证据,本文探讨了死产登记在苏格兰的历史,从社会历史的角度。报告概述了与死产登记不足有关的问题、最终导致死产婴儿登记的程序以及登记的更广泛意义。
The history of vital registration has attracted substantial attention from both social historians and historical demographers. While much of that research has touched upon issues of fertility and mortality, the contentious issue of the stillborn child—which falls somewhere between the two—has been largely neglected. Although civil birth and death registration was introduced to Scotland in 1855, stillbirth registration did not begin until 1939. Using a range of legal, medical, and statistical evidence, this article explores the history of stillbirth registration in Scotland from a social history perspective. It outlines the problems associated with lack of stillbirth registration, the processes that eventually led to registration of the stillborn child, and the wider significance of that registration.
