Population and households in urban and rural settlements
Maja Štambuk
Sažetak
This article is based on an
analysis of the demographic and
socio-economic structure of the
employed population in Croatia
and their households, and it
considers the importance, in
sociological research, of social
residential attributes and the
permeation of the »rural and
urban populations and their
closeness« in certain characteristics.
Research results show that the
rural work population has a
markedly larger number of men
and older people, has a lower
degree of formal education, more
children, but also more children
who have moved away from home.
On an average, rural households
have more members who belong to
a greater number of generations.
The rural and urban employed
populations also differ in
socio-economic characteristics.
With regard to sector of activity,
more of the rural work force is
employed in the primary sector
and in industry. Few can be found
in activities that demand a higher
level of education. This is
reflected in the skills
that are the most frequent in the
village, in the jobs of
employed rural inhabitants, etc.
When the rural population began
to find employment outside
agriculture, the social structure
of the rural community changed.
Nevertheless, the backbone of
social stratification is formed by
peasants and unskilled workers,
and the rural society is still
monotonous.
