OLIVER SANCHEZ, Lilia. Algunas aportaciones de la demografía histórica en el occidente de México: Siglos XVIII y XIX. Pap. poblac [online]. 2000, vol.6, n.26, pp.207-220. ISSN 2448-7147.

This paper intends to do a brief review of the studies that have been accomplished in the field of historical demography in the western region of our country, especially in the city of Guadalajara and the state of Jalisco during the 18th and 19th centuries. There are several valuable studies that allows us to delve into the knowledge of the levels, trends, and factors of the demographic change in the populations that preceded us in the region. I have organized this paper, trying to review the two topics that I believe have been studied with more dedication for Guadalajara and its region: mortality and family structure. I intend to review some of the hypothesis proposed and the most relevant findings.
