The differences in the demographic behavior of coal miners and gunsmiths in the Basse-Meuse region of Liege, Belgium, in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries are examined. The data are obtained by family reconstitution from parish records. Factors considered include differential fertility, occupational mobility, and family life cycles. (summary in ENG)
