Korean historical demography is still in a beginning stage, mainly due to its lack of appropriate methodology. But it is a promising field with substantial materials like genealogies (c h o k p ’ o) and household registers (h o j o k), which in turn need rigorous evaluation as source materials for historical demography. Based on the brief survey of historical demography in Western Europe, Japan, and China, Korean scholars may get inspiration from the methodology of foreign historical demography and engage in two promising studies which may illuminate demographic realities in the Choson dynasty; The one is to investigate the population changes in long terms, and the other is to find out population control mechanism, if any, comparable to those found in Western Europe, Japan, and China.
