Abstract
In this paper we tried to verify the economic position of women on family farms in Istria County. The economic position of women is rarely mentioned in the recent Croatian literature and therefore it deserves scientific attention. The status of women is ussually referred
through the farm family group in the frame of economic features of family farms such as income, efficiency, economics in work, but rarely mentioned through deeper explanations of family and women’s professional choices. Our research of farmwomen’s economic position shows a case of one County (Istria). Our
hypothesis was that the family, professional status and economic features of family farms have significant influence on the economic position of farmwomen. Stated factors affect to participation in agricultural work, on perception about farm work, opinions about the
position of women in villages, opinions about employment off farm and to education for agricultural profession.
