The time budget on private farms

Ivo Grgić

Sažetak

Little research has been carried out into the
problem of the labour force and its
employment as a factor of the economy of
privately-owned farms. Most authors
primarily regard this problem throuhgh
changes in the basic characteristics of the
agricultural population and the labour
force, considering factors like the size of
the agricultural population, the natural
population increase, sex and age structure
and the like, whereas the quantification of
real employment and the balance of the
labour force is analyzed as a "statical form
of evaluation" (the number of farmers, i.e.
work -active persons, per unit area).
A survey was performed in two villages in
Croatia, balonging to two different
economic-production and climatological -
paedological regions. The first village,
Vodinci in Slavonia, and the second, Babin
Potok, in Lika.
Research showed that there are no
significant differences between these
villages in the agricultural and farm
labour structure. The differences are
significant inly if we view them through
absolute labour expenditure which results
from the size of the farm, the structure of
production, the farm's equipment and the
size of the family.
Analysis shows that surplus labour does
exist. We see the solution to this problem in
a change of production structure on
peasant farms, the development of home
processing and household crafts, and the
further flow of home processing and
household crafts, and the further flow of
the labour force into non-agricultural
activities.
