The article brings the results of a comparative study on the death toll of the Spanish influenza pandemic between September 1918 and April 1919. The study is based on the data of parish death registers. The analysis of the social aspect of the pandemic employed the classification of historical occupations (HISCO) and historical social classification (HISCLASS) schemes, developed by the International institute of social history in Amsterdam. After brief introduction of the two mentioned schemes the article continues with a discussion of the obtained r esults. The results display a good amount of conformance across the four locations under study as far as age specific mortality is concerned. The highest death toll shares have been observed among the populations of children and adults between 20 and 40 years of age. As far as social status is concerned, we were able to compare only three of the four locations, due to constraints of non-existing data. Blue-collar occupations have been more severely impacted as white collar occupations. Among blue-collar occupations a fair amount of variation across the three locations has been observed. The most noticeable in this regard has been the high portion of peasants in Koper in comparison to Ljubljana and Pula. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
