Abstract
CUESTA, Martín. Evolution of the population and occupational structure of Buenos Aires, 1700-1810. Pap. poblac [online]. 2006, vol.12, n.49, pp.205-238. ISSN 2448-7147.
The economic growth of the region of Buenos Aires during the XVIII century was of a great magnitude and was accompanied by a population growth, both urban as well as rural, which implied at the same time the vegetative growth and due to migrations. In this article it is first observed the magnitude of this demographic growth throughout the XVIII century. From that comparison the economic structure of the population is analyzed and described, based on the occupation of the inhabitants of the three available counts (1744, 1778 and 1810) and the re-raising of the primary sources. Finally, it is observed how the population growth had an impact on the occupation of the urban space.
