The Surplus of Manpower in Agriculture in Yugoslavia
Ivan Klauzer
Sažetak
In this paper the author discusses the problem of the surplus of manpower in agriculture in Yugoslavia. His analysis is based on the questions which have to be solved from the standpoint of the s. c. »full employment«. So far as there exists a surplus of manpower in any kind, it is very difficult to speak about the concept of »full employment«. The surplus of manpower, as is known, appears in developing countries mostly in agriculture which is the case in Yugoslavia too. On this problem in Yugoslavia exist many studies but the author’s intention is not to discuss these studies, but to give an analysis of this problem from an another standpoint than that which
was the base in the study »The Reserves of Agricultural Manpower on Private Households in Yugoslavia«. To explain the own standpoint the author gives first a short overview of the standpoint in the named study, and accepts the methods for establishing the needed size and the available size of labour on the base of the possible days of
work during a year. After that the author gives, in table IV in the supplement, an overview of the surplus of the manpower in agriculture in Yugoslavia and the provincies as it was established on the base of the number of agriculturists living on private agricultural households. According to that approach the surplus was establishedat more than 2.2 millions as the first variant, and near 1.7 millions as the second
variant. The author’s approach to this problem is based on the number of agriculturists by profession, and he established a surplus of manpower in agriculture in Yugoslavia only by 1.5 million workers, which data are given in table 3. in the article. Author accepts the method of recalculation the number of available manpower according to the age and using this method to correct the number of 1.5 million as the surplus, the author establishes the »real« surplus of only 1.4 million persons. To achieve the stage of full employment in Yugoslavia the author suggests the shift of this surplus from agriculture to nonagricultural activities, but these people are mostly unqualified. Because of that the author inclines toward the suggestion of the Committee for working questions which suggests to find a way to employ this surplus in cooperatives organizing a kind of industrial production in agriculture.
