Abstract The study of values in Europe, observable through the prism of welfare, consists of an examination of the values of various groups in the domain of welfare, e.g. in the expression and provision of ‘basic’ individual and group needs. The different values and practices of the majority and the minorities are a source of tension in the German society. German policy tries to direct the interaction between majority and minorities towards more cohesion and solidarity. At the same time it becomes more obvious that minority groups influence and challenge majority values.

  • 1 Infant Mortality Decline in Rural and Urban Bavaria
    Infant Mortality Decline in Rural and Urban Bavaria: Sanitary Improvement and Inequality in Bavaria and Munich, 1825-19101 Abstract A high infant mortality regime characterized much of the German Kingdom of Bavaria during the long nineteenth century. Conditions in Munich were reflective of this regime, with 40 deaths per 100 births not uncommon during the early 1860s. Infant mortality in all of Bavaria declined slowly in rural areas until World War I. In urban areas, the decline was much more impressive with the median falling by one-half up to 1913. The decline in Munich was even more dramatic. This paper examines the causes of infant mortality in both Bavaria as a whole and in Munich. The analysis of Bavaria examines district-level data for the period 1880 through 1910. The examination of Munich is for the period 1825-1910, which is a period of substantial economic and social change as well as sanitary reform. Patterns of land distribution, fertility and sanitary provision all play a role in accounting for the decline in infant mortality. The study uncovered growing discrepancies across social groups as decline set in Munich. John C. Brown Department of Economics Clark University Worcester, MA 01610 [email protected] Timothy W.
