- Why was there a population increase between the year 1625-1688 (England)
- Migration
- Migration was most noticeable in towns - by 1600 migrants made up 35% of Norwich's population
- The traditional view that people should live their entire lives close to their place of birth disintegrated - more people moved to wherever they could find work
- Because more people had job security (as they migrated), more children were born
- Kentish towns were very attractive to migrants; they were well established centres of the cloth trade and many of the skilled Dutch weavers took on apprentices, which enticed many to migrate.
- Reduction in mortality rates
- Increase in fertility
- Plague
- Parish records show that children who died were replaced within ten years by their surviving parents
- When elderly members of families died, the younger members had more of an opportunity to marry.
