Family Budgets Being The Income And Expenses Of Twenty-Eight British Households, 1891-1894 (1896)

Family Budgets: Being The Income And Expenses Of Twenty-Eight British Households, 1891-1894 is a book written by Charles Booth and first published in 1896. The book provides a detailed analysis of the income and expenses of twenty-eight British households during the years 1891-1894. The households were chosen from different social classes, ranging from the poorest to the wealthiest, and were located in different parts of London.The book is divided into two parts. The first part provides an overview of the methodology used to collect the data, including the selection of households, the types of data collected, and the limitations of the study. The second part presents the actual data, with each household being described in detail, including their income, expenses, and standard of living.The book is considered a pioneering work in the field of social research and is still widely read and cited today. It provides valuable insights into the economic conditions of British households in the late nineteenth century and sheds light on the social and economic inequalities of the time. The book is also of interest to historians, sociologists, and economists who are interested in the history of social research and the development of social policy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
