The transformation of Croatian agriculture from the aspect of employment
Sanja Crnković-Pozaić
Sažetak
In the course of economic progress
agriculture must free its resources for the
development of other activities, but at the
same time increase production. In Croatia
this did not happen, predominantly
because private agriculture was pushed
into the margins for political reasons. Its
passive role as a reservoir of labour and a
cheap source of agricultural produce for
the urban population and manufacturing
industry reflects the implementation of
the socialist idea about industrialization at
all costs. We quantified the price of this
type of development by following the
armies of farmers from 1946 to 1991,
which enabled us to estimate the number
of employed private farmers in the
1961-1991 period. Today the village
suffers from a major problem of
senilization and feminization, resulting
from a long period of emigration and
changes in the demographic structure of
the agricultural population. Nevertheless,
we must emphasize that employment in
agriculture is greater than it currently is
in many other fields of the economy, and
that even after the rejection of socialist
dogma private agriculture is still being
unjustifiably neglected.
