Marital Mobility of Farm Women in the SR Macedonia
Amalija Jovanović
Sažetak
Farm women usually chose
husbands either from their own
group, or from the group of
industrial workers, which is on a
similar level to theirs in the social
hierarchy, but nevertheless means
an improvement of their social
status because they do not have
to do only more exhausting farm
work, and they leave the rural way
of life. Marriage to salesworkers,
service workers and protective
service workers (firefighters,
policemen etc.) is very rare, while
other combinations of marriage ties
are insignificant. Women of other
occupations, especially those whose
occupations demand a level of
education that corresponds to
secondary school, find it easier to
marry outside their group than do
farm women. This difference makes
us conclude that the great
endogamy in the farm women's
choice of marriage partners is a
result of the objective social
position of their occupational
group, not a result of their
subjective desires and aspirations.
The similar behaviour of men from
their occupational group also
indicates this.
In general, in the statistical series
of six years, there were no
essential changes in the
participation of homogameous
marriages of peasant women. Apart
from small variations in certain
years, the data do not indicate any
tendency of change concerning the
professional heterogeneity or
homogeneity of marital
combinations in the agricultural
occupational group. Perhaps
research into a longer period of
time would give more insight into
the problem and indicate changes,
as does a comparison between
empirical and statistical data. If we wish to gain deeper
knowledge of marital mobility in
Yugoslavia, it is necessary to carry
out special research, taking into
account all the elements significant
for marital mobility, and thus
complete our understanding of
that problems.
