_Per cent._
Ranenburg (1882) 47
Dankoff (1882) 47
Korotoyak (1887) 47
Nizhnedevitzk (1887) 46
Taking these figures as co-efficients, we obtain the number of male
workers to a family in 1858.
[99] The figures above given are rather too little expressive for the
actual degree of the dissolution of the patriarchal family abroad.
The following are the figures for the whole region covered by the
statistical investigation of the zemstvo toward January 1, 1890 (_cf._
Introduction):
Communities 50,429
Households 3,309,020
Males and females 19,693,191
Average membership to 1 family 5.95
To the do. of Ranenburg 6.4
” ” Dankoff 6.4
” ” Korotoyak 7.3
” ” Nizhnedevitzk 7.8
[100] The correlation between the number of workers and the size of the
farm can be summed up as follows:
