| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this research, we aimed to clarify the issue of labor supply to the primary commodities production sector in the 19th century, taking up historical cases mainly in Southeast Asia. In W. A. Lewis's research, which is the main premise of this research, external factors such as migration from India and China to Southeast Asia since the 1870s were emphasized as labor supply sources, but in this research, we focus on an internal factor, that is population growth in Southeast Asia, mainly island parts. We highlighted the phenomenon of remarkable population growth since the early 19th century. The development of primary commodities export and the accompanying development of commerce in this region led to an increase of fertility rate. It could be considered that population growth during this period was nothing but “extensive growth”. We believe that we are able to raise these issues as stylized facts.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究の中で浮上した幾つかの研究課題は、学術的にも意義あるものと考えている。第一に、環インド洋の熱帯地域において、19世紀以降のそれぞれの地域（東南アジア、南アジア、サブサハラ・アフリカ）の経済発展径路が大きく分岐したという点、第二に、このような分岐が何ゆえに起こったのかを、自然環境要因および歴史的要因の両側面にわたって解明すべきであるという点である。平成31年度・科学研究費補助金・基盤研究(A)として採択された「近現代における環インド洋熱帯地域の複数発展径路」は、総勢15人の研究者で構成される共同研究であり、かかる研究課題に対する取り組みとして現在進行中である。
