Labour Relations in Java (Indonesia) for 1650, 1800, and 1900 are provided in an abridged format. The dataset, updated in October 2020, includes only records containing labour relations, omitting population data. This version involved data cleaning, separation of male and female individuals, and removal of duplicate records.
Use Cases
- Analyze historical labour market composition based on the separation of male and female individuals.
- Study changes in labour relations over time using the three distinct snapshot years (1650, 1800, 1900).
- Clean and validate historical demographic data based on the described removal of duplicate records.
- Compare labour-only data with broader population datasets based on the abridged format that excludes population data.
Strengths
- Data cleaning and removal of duplicate records were performed.
- Male and female individuals are separated, allowing gender-based analysis.

Limitations
