Peculiarities of social-demographic indices and professional composition of Tambov, Voronezh and Ryazan provinces in the middle of 19th century

The changing social and professional composition of the populations of several provinces of South-Central Russia at the end of the 18th - mid 19th century is considered. The difference of the whole population of Tambov, Ryazan and Voronezh provinces is noted, and it is concluded that the number of categories of the Tambov population excelled the one in Ryazan. This has been fixed and at the beginning of the 19th century, and by the middle of the century. But not exceeding Voronezh in Tambov, as described. In Ryazan, Tambov, Voronezh and provinces by the middle of the 19th century remained inherent in these provinces the positive dynamics of fertility/mortality and population growth, which was interrupted in the first half of the 19th century due to several epidemics of cholera, particularly epidemic 1848 year. After the epidemic to 1850 years demographic situation in the provinces was corrected. The reasons for the improvement of demographic situation were to improve the epidemiological situation in Ryazan, Tambov and Voronezh provinces, resulting in increased average natural growth in all categories of the population of the provinces, even serfs.
