| Abstract | Using longitudinal data this work analyses historical fertility between 1834 and 1914 in an Alpine village situated in north-east Italy, characterised by scarce resources and by an economy which passed from being traditional and based on closed subsistence to becoming open and integrated. During the initial period studied, this territory can be described as a natural fertility context, where Malthusian preventive checks were long-run mechanisms adopted to overcome the limitations set by the environment. In later years, seasonal migration started to play a predominant role in the community. These flows involved the best skilled, wealthiest and healthiest males and the countries of destination were more modern and affluent, offered better labour opportunities and salaries and possibilities of qualification. Impacts on fertility were strong, evidencing a smaller number of births for migrants, which partly resulted from a reduced childbearing period, with a later start and an earlier stop. The findings of this work therefore show that due to the positive selectivity of these men and to the exposure to influences during their periods of absence, in this village seasonal migrants were the agents of change and also the vanguard of modern reproductive behaviours.A partir de données longitudinales, cette étude analyse la fécondité observée entre 1843 et 1914 dans un village alpin au Nord-est de l’Italie, caractérisé par des ressources rares et par le passage d’une économie traditionnelle et de subsistance à une économie ouverte et intégrée. Au début de la période étudiée, ce territoire connaissait un contexte de fécondité naturelle où les mesures Malthusiennes préventives étaient des mécanismes de long terme adoptés afin de surmonter les limites imposées par l’environnement. Par la suite, la migration saisonnière commença à jouer un rôle primordial dans la communauté. Ces flux migratoires concernaient les hommes les plus qualifiés, les plus riches et en meilleure santé, et les pays de destination étaient plus modernes et plus riches, offraient de meilleures perspectives de travail, des salaires plus élevés et des possibilités de qualification. L’impact sur la fécondité était important. Il se manifestait par un nombre de naissances plus faible parmi les migrants, dû en partie à une période d’exposition au risque d’avoir des enfants plus courte, avec un début plus tardif et un arrêt plus précoce. Les résultats de ce travail révèlent ainsi qu’en raison de la sélection positive de ces hommes et de leur exposition à d’autres influences pendant leurs périodes d’absence, les migrants saisonniers dans ce village représentaient des agents du changement ainsi que l’avant-garde de comportements reproductifs modernes. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
