Professionalization of Labour in Agriculture

Mladen Stojanov

Sažetak

Occupying central position in the processes
of contemporary transformation
of agriculture and village in Jugoslavia,
professionalization of labour
in the individual sector of agriculture
has been taken as a starting point of
the article. Professionalization of labour
is the expression of social division
of labour demonstrating the development
of a society as well. Namely,
economic, technical, organizing,
social and other elements of social
development are being synthetically
connected in professionalization. Furthermore,
professionalization of labour
breaks the autarky of farming changing
traditionally closed rural social system
and integrating farmers (individual
agricultural workers) into global
society.
Agricultural labour is a specific one;
consequently its professionalization is
specific as well. The author emphasizes
a necessity of transformation in
the traditional model of production explaining
the characteristics of that
traditional family model of production
on a small family (as a rule) farm.
Braking up of a traditional rural family
as an economic unit in a society is closely
connected with professionalization
of labour. In order to transform labour
into a professionalized one it is
necessary to build the model of organization
in which a professional division
of labour could be possible, potentially
realized. In order to achieve
that it is necessary to increase the productivity
of labour by means of greater
mechanization in agriculture. Namely,
substitution of human labour by
machines is a condition for the progress
of production and at the same time it is closely connected with specialization
and professionalization in
the individual sector of agriculture.
Professionalization of farm labour in
Jugoslavia has not yet been completely
carried out. But even the existing
partial professionalization shows that
the status of an individual agricultural
worker and farmer is not the matter
of relationship to his labour anymore,
but it is an industrial, generally
social and economic question.
