title: [Agrarian overpopulation and household structure in Saguenay (1881-1931)].
abstract: "Our paper investigates the effect of land shortage in the Saguenay region [of Quebec, Canada,] upon the household structures, more precisely on the frequency of a) complex structures, b) celibacy, c) cohabitation with strangers (non-relatives).  The data come from 28 parish censuses of the period 1881-1931.  For each of these three indicators, findings show that the saturation of arable land did not entail significant changes."
