Standard of Living of the Village Population
Alija Hodžić
Sažetak
In the contemporary Yugoslav
village the pecuniary consideration
is a quite dominating factor in
overal income created mostly
through work outside the
agricultural estate. By exchange
of work and produce with the
global society (the town), the
village is becoming urbanised,
which is the basis of the spreading
of culture, standardisation and
unification of life.
The standard of living of the
village population is, however,
still greatly dependent on
characteristics of individual
agriculture, its place within the
economy as a whole, as well as on
the set of values prevalent in the
society. With considerable
fluctuation in certain periods
(related to changes in the global
society) a village population —
particularly the agricultural sector
— succeeds in keeping pace with
the growth in the standards of
living of the urban population,
and even to reduce marked
differences from previous periods.
Modernisation of village life is
expressed more through personal
consumption than through
agricultural production. We could,
therefore, speak of domination of
needs over production, which on the
one hand contributes to
conservation of production (low
productivity, restricted
specialisation, etc.), while on the
other giving the village population
an illusion (since no relatively
permanent foundation can be
established on such production)
of emancipation as an already
completed integration.
