The lowest number of men was in 1785; this was at the end of the demographic catastrophe 1784/1785 when the population decline was 19,0%. (1) This decline was mainly to starvation due deaths. But also after of periods population growth there were far more women than men, for instance in 1769 and in 1801 and this sex ratio "anomaly" existed throughout the 19th century. Table 1.

Valentin August Heinze expressed this opinion in 1789 (3), Sigurdur Hansen in 1858 (4) and several other writers did this from the 18th to the 20th century (5), in short this explanation has been the commonly accepted truth for at least two hundred years. Certainly the Icelandic fisheries were dangerous to human life and definately contributed to the anomalous sex The very fact that the relative surplus of women highest after demographic crises points, however, in another direction: The sex ratio was basically the result of the very high mortality rate in Iceland, due to the simple reason that women generally and in all age categories tend to have better survival posibilities than men. The general low survival rate for men was also noted by The Icelandic bishop Hannes some 18th century writers. Finnsson wrote in the early 1790s that more men than women died during famine periods in Iceland.(7) But the low male survival ratio was indeed a general "European" phenomenon as one writer has pointed out: "The higher rate of male mortality was a well established phenomenon (1500-1700). It was found in every Thus "the balance age group".(8) between the sexes was frequently upset". The 'frauenfrage' was an old classical problem, existing at least since the Middle Ages.

But as a study of table 2 reveals, the sex ratio already well pronounced during childhood, was anomaly especially when we consider the natural birth surplus of male infants. A comparison between Iceland in 1703 and Sweden 1800 shows that the relatively high death rate of males in the economically active age groups was almost as pronounced in Sweden as in Iceland. The difference between the two was basically due to the sex ratio anomaly among the Icelandic children. The study of the particular Icelandic sex ratio is primarlily the study of the very high infant therefore mortality in the country. Related to that study is the investigation of foetal deaths and the death rate of children in the age group 1—14, as well as the sex ratio at birth. IV If in the changes of the sex ratio of the different age groups time in Iceland are considered, it is obvious that demographic crises (or demographic expansions) are the only causal explanations reasonable for these changes . particular crises were of importance Demographic during the following periods: 1. 2. 3.

The rate of the Icelandic infant mortality,throughout, was taken from Hansen, 1978, the 18th century material from figure 2, p. 122, the material 1851 onwards from table 1, p. 117. (A minor adjustment had to be made regarding Hansen's material for the construction of this table. Hansen used five years' averages for the period 1850-1859 which was transformed to an unwighted decennial average. Instead of using for each decade during the 18th century years the 1850—1859.....1890—1899, as Hansen did, I used the years without changing his data). The percentage of male infants in the total number of deceased infants was found by combining the infant death ratios with the total number of births for each sex. The sex ratio at the age of one was also constructed by combining infant mortality with the number of births. 1851—1860....1891—1900 V child the basic cause of the mortality, pecularity of the Icelandic sex ratio, must of course be divided into two categories: Infant mortality and mortality of children in the age group 1-14. Infant mortality was very high in Iceland. It has been studied by Hansen 1978. 18th century infant mortality may be seen in table 3. During the years of demographic crisis 1784 1785 and "the birth were almost generations extinguished before their first birthday."(11) It is of interest also to note that during the period of increasing population stagnation (1768—1782) the infant mortality rate was 36% higher for males and 34% higher for females than during the period of population increase (1788—1802). Nevertheless the level was high even during the second period and it stayed high during the 19th century, its decline came in three phases with a relative stagnation in the intervening periods: the 1870s, th 1890s and after 1910 (see table 3).

But there was a great difference in the infant mortality rate: it was almost twice as high in Iceland 1771—1800 as it was in Sweden during the same period. With the same proportion in the death rate between the sexes in both dountries, this meant a far lower number of surviving one years old boys in relation to the girls in Iceland compared to the situation in Sweden. Now table 3 does show that the death rate of male infants declined more slowly than the death rate of female infants. But this is mainly a 20th century phenomenon when the infant death rate in general had become very low. We can see this partly in table 3 (the difference in the sex ratio at birth and at the age of 1) and in table 4, which presents a model regarding the possible sex ratio at the age of one as 53,6% males. of the the function of two variables: The sex ratio at birth, the infant mortality rate and one constant, that 53,5% of the deceased children were boys. The figures in table 4 are based on 18th century realities in Iceland. As we can see in table 3, the birth sex ratio 1003 was the one existing 1781—1785 (the years of a very great demographic shock): the birth sex ratio 1010 the one existing 1771—1780 (when the population upswing which started in 1760 was in its last phase and the "Malthusian limit" was being reached); the birth sex ratio 1052 characterized the period of population recovery 1791-1800; the birth sex ratio 1027 was the average for the whole period 1771—1800. The average infant mortality rate for the whole period was 37%: thus the sex ratio 962 is the actual average ratio for children at the age of one during this period. Table 4 .

(13) Instead the mothers gave food to the children which was considered good among by the adults such as cream.(14) This was of course an effective baby killer. (15) The infant death rate in 18th century Iceland was close to 40%. The absence of breastfeeding in Iceland was a part of a general European cultural trend. According to one source, breastfeeding was apparently common during the Middle Ages but began to disappear at the end of the 15th century; during the 17th century several mothers in Western and Northern Europe had ceased to breastfeed their babies. Lactation started to be the general rule again first during the 19th century. (16) The cessation of breastfeeding was cloesly connected with various "superstitions", beliefs such as the commonly accepted view that mother's milk was poisonous first after the delivery.(17)(18) During the 18th century doctors in various countries began to inform the people about the beneficial effects of breastfeeding but their influence was very limited. This was certainly the case in Iceland but the first professional doctors in that country then began to fight the traditional Icelandic methods of children , feeding advocating breastfeeding. These attempts were a total failure. (19) It was first after 1900 that Icelandic women by and large started to breastfeed their babies (20).

However, it must be emphasized that the material we are dealing with is probably too small to draw any definate regarding this decrease in the natural male conclusions surplus at birth. Indeed, if we look at the annual figures, the variations are great and it is only through making aggregates of five or ten years that it is possible to find this phenomenon. For instance the relatively small number of newborn male infants in relation to female infants 1781-1785 is based on a very small population because fertility was then extremely low. Nevertheless, much larger populations over a long period of time show some increase in the natural male surplus at birth. For instance the sex ratio for all births (both live births and still births) was 1054 males to 1000 females for Sweden For the period 1901—1950 it was for 1751-1800. Sweden 1063:1000. In Iceland the increase in the relative number of male births has been greater than in Sweden. (21) Although this increase is not dramatic, it gives support to the thesis that increased welfare has diminshed mortality in a greater proportion for male foeti than female foeti, especially because still births are included in these birth It is well known that there is a large male aggregates. surplus among still births and this comes out very clearly in early statistics. If we only consider live births, the Swedish 1950 it was sex ratio of these 1751—1800 was 1046:1000, 1059:1000. The available statistical evidence seems to suggest that the rule of the male surplus of natal deaths may be applied to foetal deaths prior to the natal process. The scientific proof, however, does not lie in demographic statistics but in biological research. (22) Although it may be difficult to find a causal link between chronic malnourishmnet and spontaneous abortions (23) this obviously is not the case with famished populations, met with in as happened dramatic cessation of food production, starvation periods in Iceland. It stands to reason to expect that shocks of that kind must result in increases in foetal deaths.

But it may be chosen, century material. The period done with 19th 1838—1847, is the first ten years' period providing the neccessary information. The infant mortality was then 36,0 % for boys and 32,3 % for girls, for both sexes it was 34,2 %. During this period there was a significant male surplus at birth, unlike most of the years 1771—1799. But there were no specific hunger years in the country 1838-1847 and hence we might expect relatively few foetal deaths. On the other hand there were two epidemics which killed a lot of children, one in 1843 and the other in 1846 which resulted in an infant mortality of 61,1 %.(24) But as table 5 clearly shows, this male surplus gradually vanished. In table 6 we can see how mortality in different The age categories actually created the sex ratio anomaly. infant death rate was its main cause 1838—1847. The allow 10 Table 5.

Source: Table % 57,4 34,0 ,6 show the male surplus of 5 . X As we can see in table 5, the Icelandic mortality in the age group 1—14 was 1838—1847 somewhat higher than the mortality in the age group 15—49 during that period, in relation to the number of life years counted. It was by modern standards quite high, 16,1 % of the children surviving to the age of 11 one could be expected to die before the age of fifteen. (In modern Iceland this ratio is below 1 % for the age group 1—14). But contrary to what was the case for any other age relatively more females than group in Iceland 1838—1847, males died between the age of one and fifteen. The years of hunger during the 18th century come out clearly in the age structure of the censuses 1769, 1785 and 1801. The relative smallness of the age groups who were children during the famine years cannot be explained solely by high infant mortality and low fertility; there must also have been a relative increase in child mortality of age group 1+.(25) The small age groups caused by the famines were also increases in the sex ratio anomaly, i.e. relatively more males than females had died. We can see this very clearly in table 2, for instance the age group 30-39 (born 1746—1755) in the census of 1785. But it is not clear if this increased sex ratio anomaly was solely due to increases in foetal and infant mortality deaths or if it also must be explained by the increased death rate of children aged 1—14.

Thus the sex ratio anomaly in Old Iceland was well established at the age of one. It is possible, but definately not proved, that increased mortality during the 18th century famines among children older than one year of age still increased this sex anomaly. XII did European Why 12 the Icelandic stop women women and indeed several Perhaps the breastfeeding? other basic reason was to some extent a reflection of difficult times. For instance mothers having to work in the fields almost immediately after delivery, were hardly in a good position to breastfeed their babies. (26) It is interesting to note that this cessation of lactation ocurred mainly in Northern and Western Europe, the area of the typical "western family" by a high age at first marriage and by the characterized fact that a large number of the women never married. These European countries were in fact effective practising population checks through this low nutiality ratio. Iceland provided an extreme example of this "western family" type and probably it is no incident that Iceland provided also an extremely high infant mortality ratio. It looks as if the peoples who were practising the preventive of check restricted nuptiality were also practising the check of high infant death rate.

This was both a great civil and religious crime in Europe; this taboo not to kill was commonly respected. But there was a common saying in Iceland that the A baby happiest children were the angels in heaven.(28) baptized in the name of the Lord was quite without sin, its place in heaven was secure where it would be far away from this dismal life on earth, happy in the company of God. Everything The Icelanders believed in predestination. which happened had been so previously arranged and was also a manifestation of the will of the supernatural power, preferably of God. (29) The death of an innocent child could only be due to the will of God. That child definately belonged to Him, not to Satan. "The Lord giveth, the Lord taketh. Blessed be the name of the Lord". This was the rationalization and the ideology connected to infant mortality. It was certainly a crime to kill a child. But was not it a crime as well to prolong the life of a sick and miserable child, thus preventing the Lord from taking in due time what was rightfully His? To accuse the 18th century parent in Iceland of anything remotely connected to infanticide or even curel treatment of his or her sick baby would rightly have aroused great indignation. The parent loved the child and gave to it the 13 best available food according to adult taste. The child should have the very best the short time it stayed on this miserable earth. This rationalization was only possible because it was a part of a cultural pattern. To go against tradition and accepted cultural values was very difficult. The deviator was ridiculed and even condemned as an immoral person. The absence of lactation has been explained by this appeal to tradition, "..the mistakes repeated from one generation to another became legitimized the people as fixed, among unavoidable "In the mothers' immediate habits"(30) surroundings there will alvays be found people who are opposed to breastfeeding....

Maurice Godelier has once written about the neccessity to reveal the unconscious origins "of the system of conscious norms (which control) the social practice of the production agents" (32); in other words, man is conscious of the accepted social norms but not of their origins. These norms may on the prima facie evidence seem to be irrational, for instance religious practices, but may in effect reflect very rational economic ends.(33) The historian and/or the social scientist must learn to distinguish between on one hand what appears to be and is consciously accepted as truth and on the other hand what is the underlying social reality, frequently hidden by a variety of myths. In stratified class societies the interraltionship between "irrational behavior" very and rational ends is often complicated and evasive. These rational ends may be the preservation of oppressive social bonds or harsh economic realities which the individuals may find difficult to cope with consciously, or the combination of both. Kazimiers Dobrowolski has described a stratified pre—capitalist society in his essay about traditional peasant culture in Southern Poland: "the permanent unchanging character of social institutions developed, implying belief in 14 their intrinsic value: This our fathers and grandfathers have always done, thus we shall do... In these circumstances any conscious rational motivation for economic activity or manner of conduct was of little relevance".(34) Instead there was "a passive reception of the existing cultural system... and a strong emotional attachment to it. In this way, cultural contents and institutions acquired an unusual importance, becoming a working authority.. ."(35). Underlying peasantry's the conservatism was its suppression by the clergy and the ruling classes and the peasants' passive acceptance of these conditions which were integrated into their set of values. Cultural uniformity thus became one prerequsite for the continued existance of the social differentiation . (36) The demand for cultural uniformity transpassing even the class barriers was very strong in a small society like Iceland with its maximum population of 50.000 individuals. This demand for conformism was a logical consequence of the social stratification, not in any opposition to it. This meant that all deviations from the existing cultural pattern could not be tolerated.

People are to a large extent unconscious about the origins and the use of their behavourial norms in economic and social life. 2. The greater the social stratification in society becomes, the stronger the trend towards cultural conformity will become, in other words "the slavery of convention" will then increase. XVI It here above that there has been suggested was a correlation between the creation of the "western family" (characterized by delayed nupitality and a low nuptiality ratio) and the cessation of lactation. It has also been suggested that these demographic factors might be related to certain economic difficulties. But there is frequently no direct and mechanic relationship between the socio—economic base and the superstructure, cultural instance for synchronization might be lacking. The fashion not to breastfeed continued to exist regard less of the socio-economic origins. This in combination with is for cultural uniformity explains why there demands was no practise of lactation and why there was a high infant mortality rate among the rich as well as among the poor (37 ) the (38). Nevertheless their children in Iceland the women started to breastfeed soon as the economic and the general demographic situation in the country had begun to improve. This suggests that the relationship (ca. around 1900). between the base and the superstructure, the irrational and the objective social realities, was very smooth and quick when it came to responding to changes (39), at least in the case of lactation. Also for the very religious, the bliss of factor, easily comparable Heaven to the was a relative increasing or the decreasing miseries on earth. But around the year 1900 in Iceland there was absolutely nothing any longer in the socio—economic base which could justify measures favouring severe population checks. As the prerequsite for decreased legitimate fertility was decreased infant mortality, it might be argued that the "archaic" Icelandic culture in infant nursing delayed the stage of demographic transition by a few decades.(40) as Generated on 2015-04-29 10:14 GMT / http://hdl.handle.net/2027/coo.31924050604218 Creative Commons Attribution / http://www.hathitrust.org/access_use#cc-by-3.0 XVII Some observations made here above have shown their validity in the case of infant nursing in Iceland. The individual parents were unaware of the ideological and economic origins of their social practices. The demand for cultural uniformity to prevent alterations in the prevailing social structure transformed these practices into universal laws for everyone. It is possible to understand the causal process leading to the very high infant mortality rate only by using the model described here above regarding the unconscious actors of objective social facts, in which the causal links were the commonly accepted social norms and the demand for cultural uniformity. 16 Notes decline for the years 1784—1785 1783 with respect to the year as the base.

In another North Atlantic country, the Faroese Islands, where the inhabitants were probably as much involved in the dangerous fisheries as the Icelandic population was, there were actually more men than in 1834, (1006 males to 1000 females.) But the infant survival rate was much higher in the Faroese Islands than in Iceland. This difference between the two by the fact that the explained countries has been breastfed their children, Faroese mothers generally unlike the Icelandic ones. (Joensen, Hans Debes, 1954 p. 230).

For the demographer (and the medical scientist) it is rather easy to find the neccessary statistics regarding still births and infant deaths, but it is extremely difficult to collect information regarding foetal deaths prerequsite for any The except legal abortions. systematic study of the sex ratio of foetal deaths therefore must be a research of the causal relationship, a field obviously open only to the scientists of biology.

This was the highest infant death rate 1838-1847. The lowest, in 1844, was 23,6 9:. The unweighted average percentage for the ten years' period was 34,0, with a standard deviation of 11,0. Unfortunately the presently available statistics of the censuses 1769, 1785 and 1801 only provide information about eight and ten years' age groups. 26. Various sources provide evidence regarding this strong sense of predestination, for instance the autobiographies of two 18th century clergymen, Jon Steingrimsson and porsteinn Pétursson. The latter as a pietist emphasized 19 30. 31. 32. 33. the omnipresence, omniscience and omnipotence of God, the former as an orthodox traditionalist, the predestined and prearranged order of things. As porsteinn Pétursson was an early pietist and an obedient servant of the absolute monarchy, he did not develop his pietism in the direction of individualism and rationalism and hence there was no conflict between the socio—cultural views of the two. Joensen, op.cit. p. 36 Joensen was here quoting a German scholar writing in 1871. Ibid, p. 38. Godelier, Maurice, 1977, 54. Godelier's example of concretization is naturally taken from social anthropology. It is the example of the Mbuti pigmies, whose main occupation is hunting in the tropical forest. They worship the forest, it is not the hunters who catch the game, it is the forest which provides it. "When they forbid the needless killing of animals... it is (Godelier, op. cit. the forest they are respecting" 58—59). 34. Dobrowolski, in Shanin, 287. 35. Ibid. 36. For his Polish Highlanders this rule (op.cit. has discussed in effective method for preventing breastfeeding Iceland was the tradition that during the first week in the life of the infant, it stayed with the midwife, not with the mother. (‘Arni Bjiirnsson, op.cit. p. 42). 38. According to Eggert ‘Olafsson and Bjarni Palsson there was in 18th century Iceland one exception to the short lactation period: Mothers who did not have access to cow's milk due to poverty were compelled to breastfeed their babies. But the more prosperous neighbours "out of pity" then began to give milk to the poor women and thus they could'cease to practise this immoral act of lactation. (FerSabok ..., 1, p. 229,230). The authors themselves were of the opinion that breastfed children had the greatest survival possibilites. (Ferfiabék .. 1, 314). 39. There is nevertheless a very striking example of the traditional Icelandic mercy killing of infants from the 1 9 16 . folk . year Emilsson: Fétaekt (Tryggvi Aeviminningar.

The other side of the coin was the sheer poverty of the people, poverty meaning that the means were insufficent to provide the standard of living which was for changing the neccessary demographic factors. In turn the demographic factors influenced the societal response to this poverty. 21 Bibliography Bj6rnsson, 'Arni: Merkisdagar a mannsaevinni, Reykjavik 1981.
