“…The data for per capita income available since 1955 put Madrid at the top of the Spanish economic regions in the middle 1970s. From the early 1960s to the middle 1970s, Madrid’s regional economy grew considerably, and was considered one of the richest areas of Spain [ 63 ]. It was the first to hold the greatest number of people employed in the service sector, and the second in industry and construction.…”

“…With the Plan de Establización y Liberalización Económica (Stabilisation and Liberalisation Plan) of 1959 and especially the 1960s and early 1970s the so-called “Spanish economic miracle” [ 61 ] came about, characterised by high levels of economic growth, industrialisation and rapid urbanisation [ 62 , 63 , 64 ]. In Madrid the “economic miracle” saw one of its major achievements, boosting industrialisation and rapid urbanisation [ 62 , 65 ].…”

Typifying historical populations using anthropometric indicators such as height, BMI and weight allows for an analysis of the prevalence of obesity and malnutrition. This study evaluates secular changes in height, weight and body mass for men cohorts at 21 years old, born between 1934 and 1954 who were called up between 1955 and 1974, in the city of Madrid, Spain. In this study we prove the hypothesis that anthropometric variables increase thanks to improvement in diet and significant investments in hygiene and health infrastructure during the 1960s. The results of our analysis show a positive secular change in the trends for height (an increase of 4.67 cm), weight (6.400 kg) and BMI (0.90 Kg/m2), the result of a recovery in standards of living following the war and the autarchy of the 1940s. We also observed a slight trend towards obesity and a reduction in underweight categories at the end of the period is also observed. In conclusion, the secular trends of anthropometric variables in the city of Madrid reflect the recovery of living standards after the deterioration of the nutritional status suffered during the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939) and the deprivation of the autarchic period.

“…This was due to an expansion in metalworking and agrofood industries (Hernández and Piquero 1985;Arbaiza 1998;Silvestre 2003). In-migration also rose in the provinces of Barcelona and Madrid (Vidal 1979;Aracil et al 1996;García-Delgado and Carrera 2001). The former expanded its diversified industrialized sector, while the latter turned from a service-oriented to a more industrial specialization.…”

Nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century industrialization provoked quantitative and qualitative changes in traditional European migratory patterns. Most of the economic and social history literature concerning the study of European internal migration during the industrializing period has emphasized permanent migration. This article shows, however, that temporary internal migration was common not only in preindustrial societies but in industrializing ones too. The article also examines the causes and the consequences of the persistence of temporary internal migrations in Spain from the mid-nineteenth century to the period leading up to the outbreak of the Spanish civil war (1936–39). Aggregate data sources are used in depth for this purpose. The information derived from aggregate sources is supplemented by reference to secondary sources, mainly comprising local and regional studies.
