EMPLOYMENT OF MEMBERS OF SMALLHOLDINGS IN AGRICULTURE AND OTHER ACTIVITIES
Branko Štancl
Sažetak
Using figures obtained by an enquiry in 1966 which covered 750 smallholdings
in 75 villages, the article analyses employment and income rates of members of
smallholdings employed in agriculture and elsewhere. The article deals in particular
with the existing situation according to individual categories of smallholdings
and agricultural districts in Croatia.
The author find that certain regions show considerable differences between
farming conditions and the employment rate among members of smallholdings
and that these differences are reflected in the rate of income per employed member
and per smallholding. Mixed households, i. e. those whose members are
employed both in agriculture and outside it, generally show higher employment
rates and income levels than purely agricultural households. Since such households
exist chiefly in regions with poor farming conditions, it is in these very
regions that individual households realize a higher income at present than do
those in purely farming districts.
In conditions of private farming, income per capita and smallholding in
this country appears to be increasingly depedent on the level of employment
and less on the actual size of smallholdings, and the author calls for suitable
measures for increasing employment. He regards employment as the crucial
economic question of private smallholdings, especially in purely farming districts.
In this view higher employment would help to level out the existing differences
between the individual regions, ensure a better utilization of the economic and
working potentialities of rural districts, and help to resolve a number of related
social and economic problems of agriculture and the rural population.
