Late Medieval Population Trends
Population growth was small due to a high birth rate and a high death rate.
Population trends depended upon crops and disease.

Late Medieval Gender Trends
Men dominated society and family life. Only men & royal women went to school. A woman’s only outlet for educational &
social growth was to become a nun. Women of the nobility were expected to
coordinate activities on the estate. Poor women were expected to work in the
fields and take care of their households.

Renaissance Family Trends (1350-1550)
Similar to the Medieval Period. Married young due to short
average life span of 35-40 years. Still lived in extended families in
which the old were cared for by younger relatives.
Large families still were needed to work in the fields.

Europe outside of England remained the same as the early modern period.
England was different by the end of the century due to the Industrial Revolution.
In England, families who moved to the city became fragmented due to the factory system. No longer did they all work at the same place &
see each other all day long. In England, many elderly persons died with
no one to care for them.
