Socio-Demographic Changes in the Village and in Agriculture
Svetozar Livada
Abstract
The author’s text is based on the
analysis of vital demographic data
on the agricultural and rural
population of Yugoslavia (number
of inhabitants, natality, mortality,
natural growth in population, age
structure, age composition).
The source for this analysis and
interpretation of data can be found
in the sociological-historical
approach to the phenomenon of
demographic development, which
enables the author to examine the
causes and consequences of usually
unfavourable demographic trends.
The author considers that it is
necessary to revitalize as soon as
possible the total rural area and
agrarian production, as otherwise
the process of social insecurity and
stratification of the rural population
will continue. He urges scientifically
founded policy for rural
development.
