Sažetak
This article is the full text, of the author’s paper delivered at the XII-th International Conference of Agricultural Economists held in Lyon, France, last year.
In the first chapter the author deals with the problem of definition and research literature on peasant-workers and establishes certain changes in their position at recent. In the second chapter the author refers firstly to the difficulties in giving a statistical account of peasant-workers and their holdings, but in spite of this it can be said that in particular Countries they cover from 1/5 up to even 1/2 of the total number of agricultural holdings. In the third chapter the problems of their productivity in agriculture and out of agriculture as well are presented. In the fourth chapter as a most important he establishes that the income (total) of peasant-workers slows the tendency of surpassing the income of »pure« (small) peasant and »pure« unqualified worker; this fact is clearly manifested in their
relative higher standard of living and higher buying power at the market; the author adds to this that the structure-of their effective demand is specially favourable for the developing countries. In the Concluding chapter the author expresses his opinion that now days the increase of these strata in developing countries is a natural and unavoidable phenomenon arid that in highly industrialised countries their holdings are gradually transforming into gardens and thus disappear from agriculture. Beside, this natural development the author refers also to the artificially created peasant-workers by the measures of colonization.
