Co- residence in Denmark 1801

This study investigates co-residence patterns in Denmark using data from the 1801 census. Led by Hans Jørgen Marker, Director of the Swedish National Data Service, the research focused on household establishment, coding of positions, and age group categorization to analyze 39,814 entries, which were simplified to 272 codes. Findings reveal unique insights into household dynamics, such as the longevity of urban women living with children. The study emphasizes the importance of context in understanding households and the potential misinterpretations of co-residence diagrams.
