SOME OBSERVATIONS ABOUT MIXED AGRICULTURAL HOUSEHOLDS IN THE DISTRICTS OF NIŠ
Dragana Prokić
Sažetak
The authoress of this article analyses some results of a research work on social
and economical changes in the Districts of Niš. The research work was completed
this year by the Institut of Agricultural Economics in Belgrade. The authoress
concentrated her attention on the specific composition of agricultural households
according to their income resources. She come to the conclusion that the number
of s. c. mixed agricultural households (with income partly from agricultural and
partly from nonagricultural activites) is considerably higher in areas with developed
economy (industry) as well as in areas with favorable communication facilities.
The total number of mixed households in the District of Niš amounts to 33.148 or
22,3% of the total number of agricultural households. But in some communes that
procentage goes up to 50%.
According to the size of farms, there are, as a rule, more mixed households
with smaller farms (1 to 5 ha) and less with larger farms (exceeding 8 ha).
Mixed households could be divided into two groups according to the data
gathered by the questionnaires. The first group would willingly give up their agricultural
status but on condition that their wages increase and housing conditions
improve. The second one, categorically wish to remain in status quo. In connection
with this the authoress conćluđes: »Objectively both groups have remained in
the social position in which they had found themselves, almost conserved in it,
without much prospects to change it in near future«.
