Certain differences between old people's households and agricultural households which include members capable of work
Ivan Magdalenić
Sažetak
Using data obtained from an investigation, the article points to the difficult
position of old people’s agricultural households in comparison to agricultural
households with members fit for active work.
In general, old people's households possess small farms. Due to inadequate
mechanical- equipment and lack of labour old people’s households also achieve
lower yields per hectare, as can be seen from »natural effect of the cultivation of
one hectare of arable land«. For the same reason, old people’s households, although
possessing small farms, often lease their land or use hired labour and equipment.
The article also deals with the pattern of spending both of old people’s and
of agricultural households: generally, old people’s households appear to spend
twice less and to have a less favourable structure of expenses, because they spend
a comparatively larger proportion of their money on maintaining production while
investing 7.5 times less money in development and modernization than do agricultural
households which have enough man-power available.
In recent years a large number of old people’s households have sold their land
and thus ensured a livelihood for themselves.
