Outline of Final Research Achievements	Using multi-generational panel data based on the population registers of early modern Northeastern Japan, we examined the impact of external factors such as famine and economic stress on the life course of commoners. Through the analysis incorporating geographical information, differences between natives and migrants became evident, although the role of social support and bonds indicated by household socioeconomic status and co-residing family members were important for protecting all individuals from mortality and migration. Furthermore, we expanded the database of population registers and organized qualitative materials related to weather, rice crop conditions, and migration, aiming for more extensive analysis with a larger sample size. Additionally, to contextualize our study, we conducted comparative research with other societies and populations, including East Asia and Eastern Europe.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements	本研究の学術的意義は「究極」のパネルデータともいえる長期に継続する世帯ベースの人口資料を体系的・実証的に活用したことである。人別改帳は国勢調査に動態情報(出生・結婚・死亡など)を加えたような世帯単位の人口資料であるが、その中でも長期継続し地理的移動情報を含むデータを活用し、天明・天保の飢饉などの影響を受けた人口に学際的に迫り、時間軸と空間軸を交えた新しいアプローチの可能性が提示できた。また、人口減少に直面しつつも、村や家族がどう継承されてきたのかを描くことで、近視的な家族の見方からより巨視的・長期的な視点で家族と社会構造を捉えることができ、未来にむけての示唆が得られた。
