How Demographic and Social Changes Influence the Reproduction and Development of Agriculture on Private Farms
Jeremija Simić
Abstract
The deagrarization processes that
resulted from longterm changes in
the demographic and social
characteristics of the village
population have had a great
influence on the socio-economic
position of private farms. The author
differentiates among three
tendencies in the development of
private agriculture and singles out
farms with expanded production,
simple production and reduced
production. Expanded production
usually occurs in purely
agricultural households, but also in
part-time and non-agricultural
ones. Simple production is usually a
characteristic of part-time and to a
certain extent of non-agricultural
households. The third tendency is
characteristic of households that
belong to aged farmers and to
active people who do not work in
agriculture. Households with simple
production are dominant in
Yugoslav villages.
The author then analyses the
interwar and postwar phases of
economic development and parallel
with that the dynamics and courses
of population deagrarization.
The article concludes by analysing
the influence of specifis
socio-demographic features, the
level of deagrarization and
tendencies of change in the number
of private farms in republics and
provinces.
