Dynamics of Land Inequality
This paper looks at land ownership in rural India. It shows a high concentration of land in the hands of the rich at the top along with a proliferation of small holdings and a steady growth in numbers of rural labour households among whom a significant proportion own and cultivate some land. The underlying processes are analysed here using a Marxian framework, more specifically the models of Karl Kautsky and V.I. Lenin that extend the Marxian log…
Dynamics of family size and composition
This study attempts to understand the dynamics that produce the persistent observation of a strong positive correlation between family size and extent of landholdings in predominantly agrarian economies [in India]. Such a correlation can arise from different types of demographic configurations including the rules of family formation. For example, big landholdings may be associated with large families, despite the lack of differentials across hold…
Family size and wealth - standing Chayanov on his head in the Indian context
The focus of this article is on the strong positive correlation between landholdings and household size observed in rural India. It may be recalled that Chayanov cites some Russian data exhibiting a similar correlation as evidence in support of his theory of the life cycle and its consequences among peasant families, arguing in particular that the causation behind the correlation runs from the family size and its composition to the size of landho…
Poverty and Family Size
Why Some of the Poor Get Richer
To the extent that peasants, particularly Indian peasants, are ever considered to be economically mobile, they are generally seen from one of two perspectives: either the Malthusian perspective, which predicts that most landholdings will shrink over time, due to partitioning among multiple heirs; or the Marxian perspective, which predicts that a few landholdings will increase in size at the expense of the vast majority-the latter diminishing, in …
