Abstract

Research in the Zagreb subregion showed
that four out of five respondents would
like an heir on the farm, but that only
one of the four would like the heir to be
exclusively a farmer. An analysis of
actually existing potential heirs shows that
30.6 per cent farms have no prospect of
being reproduced in the following
generation.
According to type of farm, social
reproduction is very narrowed on pure
agricultural farms and 60 per cent of
them have no heir. On the contrary, less
than 10 per cent part-time and
non-agricultural households have no
potential heir. The existence of potential
heirs and the form of social reproduction
in the households studied also depends on
the age, sex and occupation of the head
of the household, the type and size of the
family, and the size of the farm.
