Economic, Social and Cultural Changes in the Polish Village
Katarzyna Piorkowska-Petrović
Sažetak
The transformation of the agrarian,
class and socio-professional
structure of the Polish village
after World War II primarily
results from socio-political change
and the intense process of
industrialization and urbanization
that swept over the whole country.
Changes in agriculture resulted
from the agricultural reform which
included four important problems:
peasant land, (the social structure
of the peasants and their
socio-political status), agriculture
and the relationship between
the village and the town, and
between agriculture and industry.
The village continues to develop
in harmony with the policy of its
technological and social
transformation. An improvement
of the agrarian structure of
individual production is especially
to be expected thanks to an
increase of the area of private
farms and the organization of
farmers into production
collectives.
During the development of national
Poland there were also great
changes in the cultural and
educational life of the rural
population. The first task of the
new government was to get rid of
illiteracy and it introduced
compulsory education for all
children up to the age of 14 (later
15). This consistent policy in the
field of cultural development is
continuing, and its main aim is to
overcome cultural diferences between
the village and the town. The
already existing network of
libraries, cinemas, halls of culture,
clubs and other institutions of that
type is being expanded.
