Peasant - Worker Hoseholds as Promoters of Change in the Villages of Polog
Ilija Josifovski
Abstract
Analysing various indicators of the changes taking place in the villages of
Polog (Republic of Macedonia), the author finds that in the acceptance of these
changes there exist considerable differences between agricultural and peasant —
worker households, especially between households where the head of the family is in
permanent employment and those households where the head of the family is a farmer.
In the opinion of the author it is incorrect to attribute these differences
to the effect of one single factor — the type of household as regards the activities
of its members. The differences are due in a greater or lesser degree to other
factors as well, such as the level of education of the members of the household,
nationality and religion (the villages differ in this respect), the age of the head of
the household, etc. In spite of all this, the fact remains that the promoters of
change in the villages are those categories of the rural population whose members
are in permanent employment.
In conclusion the author says that further investigations would supply more
reliable information on the channels which bring change to the villages. These
channels should of course, be further developed and widened by practical actions.
