The migration from Örs parish 1878-1907 : A demographic study of migration from a parish in the province of Dalsland (English)
Abstract [sv]

I denna uppsats undersöktes migrationen från Örs socken i Dalsland mellan år 1878–1907 och främsta materialet som undersöktes var in- och utflyttningslängder. Syftes var att bidra till forskningen om migration och frågeställningen var att undersök vilka det var som flyttade. Resultatet var det var främst unga arbetade män som utvandrade till Amerika och främst familjeflyttare och kvinnor till Norge och övriga Sverige. En push-pull-teori användes för att förklara detta och den viktigaste pull-faktor verkar vara konjunktursvängningarna och de bättre ekonomiska förutsättningarna i Amerika och den främsta push-faktorn verkar var jordbrukets ekonomiska förändring och den sociala förändringen på Dalboslätten vid denna tid. 

Abstract [en]

In this paper, the American emigration from the parish of Ör in Dalsland between 1878 and 1907 was investigated and the main source was used was the parish’s immigration and emigration record. The aim was to contribute to the research on emigration and the question that was investigated was who emigrated. The result was that mainly young working men emigrated. A push-pull theory was used to explain this and the most important pull factor seems to be the economic fluctuations and the better economic conditions in America and the main push factor seems to be the economic change in the agriculture sphere and the social changes that happen on Dalboslätten at this time.
