On the Borderline between Tradition and Modernity. The Socio-professional Structure of the Sălaj Population between 1880 and 1941

The main purpose of this study is to capture the evolution of the socio-professional composition of the shire population and later of the Sălaj County between 1880 and 1941. In this approach, we used the censuses carried out by the Austro-Hungarian state in 1880, 1890, 1900 and 1910. For Transylvania after the Great Union, we used the census volumes made and published in Romania on the population records of 1930.
