Across the North Sea - J. van Lottum
the impact of the Dutch Republic on international labour migration, c. 1550-1850
KORTE INHOUD
Daily life in the early modern North Sea region was largely subject to international forces.

From 1550 to 1800 this small confederation of provinces attracted hundreds of thousands of foreigners to work in its industries, in its households and on board of its ships. This book is about the impact of the Dutch Republic on the geographical mobility of the people in the surrounding countries.
Jelle van Lottum deals with the underlying demographic framework of the migrations, with the changes that occurred in the receiving labour market, and will make a comparison with the other labour-attracting core on the other side ...
