Abstract
In 1947 South Africa's National Council for Social Research initiated and funded an investigation into the social conditions in a "Native Reserve" in South Africa. The Keiskammahoek District in the Ciskei, in the eastern part of the Union of South Africa, was selected as a sample native rural area for this study. The region was about 220 square miles with a population of approximately 18,000 inhabitants. The study includes a Family Budget Survey, which as conducted from 1948 to 1950 on a sample of 277 households in five villages in the area (Chatha, Gxulu, Lenye-Burnshill, Mthwaku, and Rabula). The budget survey collected data on agricultural production and household income and expenditure. This dataset is a data subset on tobacco production, income and expenditure of households in these villages. The tobacco data file can be merged with the other data files from the Keiskammahoek Rural Survey available on DataFirst's open data site.
