Jože Tavčar

Abstract

The article treats current problems
of development in the private sector
of Slovenian agriculture.
Special attention is paid to socioeconomic,
socio-political and
demograplic problems.
Agriculture in Slovenia has some
specific tendencies of dvelopment, so
the problems ar also treated in
retrospect and comparatively in
in relation to other regions of
Yugoslavia.
Problems concerning the ownership of
agricultural land, size of agricultural
holding, the economic of the
individual farming household, how it is
equiped for work and the structure of
its consumption and reproduction are
treated in detail.
The articl also shows differences in
the economic position of pure farming,
part-time and worker households.
The present level of contract-farming
and the interest for this form of
cooperating with the sociah sector is
evaluated.
Starting from evaluations of economic
conditions in the private sector, special
attention is paid to questions of the
demographic reproduction of the
agricultural population. That
reproduction is shown trough the birth
rate, marriage rate, participacion of
households without an heir, and how
much of the population capable of work
leaves agriculture to find employment
in other branches of the economy.
Besides economic and sociodemographic
characteristics, specific
ouestions concernino the
disappearance of the traditional village
and the formation of new settlements,
with fewer rural characteristics are
also treated.
The article, which is the result of
into the most acute tendencies of
development in this part of Slovenia,
also shows the need for further
researrch, especially into somepsychological
phenomena — the
degradation of certain values — work
on the land and family relations.
