Types of Labour Commuting in Yugoslavia
Maria Oliveira-Roca
Sažetak
The paper contains theoretical
discussion on the definition and the
typology of labour commuting
(daily, weekly and longer-interval),
a review of the study of this
phenomenon in Yugoslavia as well
as the main characteristics of
different types of labour
commutings based on data from the
Population Census of 1971 an 1981.
Labour commuting within and
between communes as well as
between republics and/or
autonomous provinces is analized.
It came out that differences in the
level of regional development are
the main factor that affects the
intensity and direction of the three
main types of labour commuting.
In the developed regions daily
commuting of workers dominates at
all levels. In the less developed
regions it prevails only within a
commune as a result of a poor
transportation system and of the
geographical isolation of many
settlements. An non-economic factor
that differentiates the intensity of
inter-regional labour commuting is
tradition which is reflected in the
appearance and importance of
longer-interval chain commuting.
According to the 1981 Population
Census of Yugoslavia 42 % of
workers employed in the public and
private sector of the economy were
commuters. Even a third of the
employed commute daily. While
most of the weekly and
longer-interval commuters work in
the construction sector, industrial
workers are the most numerous in
daily commuting. In general most
of the commuters are male and
blue-collar workers. As a rule,
female commuters are white-collar
workers and commute daily.
Based on the literature and data
available on this matter, the author
puts forward the assumption that
in the developed regions of the
country the so-called allochtonous
exurbanite daily commuters prevail,
while in the less developed regions
the so-called external autochtonous
commuters are dominant. Most of these commuters are peasant-
-workers in the traditional sense,
although in the most developed
areas of Croatia and specially
Slovenia the number of
peasant-workers-commuters (with
small farm with market-oriented
production) has been increasing in
the last decade.
