FREE TIME OF RURAL YOUTH

Antun Petak

Abstract

The article analyzes the results of research about the content, form, and ways
rural youth use their free time, their participation in social-political organizations,
and the degree of satisfactions they derive from their use of free time.
The research reveals that the number of activities that rural youth participate
in during free time is relatively small. These activities predominantly are passive
in character, while only a small percentage of the activities are of a creative, active,
and dynamic nature. The youth spend a considerable amount of their time with
work; their household work, work on the farm, or supplementary work for cash
income. Membership in social-political and other organizations is exceptional if
purely youth organizations are excluded. But, in spite of this, the research shows
that only a small number of rural youth express dissatisfaction with their situation
regarding free time.
