The introduction and development ofsugar and coffee production in SSo Paulo led to deep changes in its populational structure. The large number ofslaves who entered the province, mainly adult men, destroyed (he population's relative balance, both in terms ofsex and age structures. The study, based on manuscripts known as "Maços de População" which belong to the Arquivo do Estado de São Paulo, covers twenty five different communities in São Paulo, in the years 1777,1804 and 1829. The demografic characteristics of the slaves and their relation with economic variables were analysed in such study. Special attention was given to the slaves marriage and their reproductive capacity.
