Motivation of Mixed Households and Their Alternatively Employed Members
Vlado Cvjetićanin
Sažetak
In conclusion it can be said that
modern circumstances constantly
broaden the possibilities for dual
activities can be combined,
i. e. parallel engagement in an
increasing number of
non-agricultural occupations and
agricultural production. These two
activities can be combined.
On the basis of the foregoing the
following can be concluded:
— Agriculture as a traditional
occupation, has lately, in particular
during the last quarter of a century,
been exposed to great changes. A
number of new circumstances
fundamentally interfere with
traditional forms and condition
the formation of new forms in
mixed agriculture; i. e. parallel
engagement in agricultural and
non-agricultural work. Such
circumstances are: modernisation
of agricultural production, and in
connection with this development
of new technical-technological
means, humanizing and rationalizing
work in agriculture; spreading of
industry into rural areas;
expansion of modern
communications and traffic
systems; development of tourism;
reduction in working hours in
non-agricultural activities; escape
from the town into rural areas
including the popular practice of
having weekend residences;
urbanisation of rural living
conditions; entire destruction of
village autarchy, etc.
In conditions of modern economic
development, people engaged in
agricultural work, and those
engaged in non-agricultural
activities are exposed to quite
a number of atracting and
repulsing factors in relation to
their work in agriculture and in
non-agriculture. A certain number
of peasants become attracted to the
advantages of non-agricultural
occupations, i. e. they are put off
by the disadvantages of work on the
land. However, a number of new
circumstances enable peasants to
combine two occupations
simultaneously much easier than
in earlier periods. On the other
hand, a massive trend has started
moving in the opposite direction,
i. e. from the non-agricultural to the agricultural sector. A certain
number of peasants are attracted
to the advantages of work in
agriculture, which have gained in
importance and value in modern
living conditions. Because of
advantages such as healthy
surroundings, recreation
possibilities, cheap supply of
agro-products grown by them in
a natural way, the possibility for
investment, chances for earning
extra income, etc, people decide to
combine then non-agricultural
occupation with work in agriculture.
In other words, today, quite new
reasons and motivations contribute
to the formation and maintenance
of mixed households.
