Sažetak
The aim of this paper is to determine the attitudes of young people in the Eastern Slovenia about agriculture as an economic activity, and their attitudes about potential career in agriculture. Based on a literature review in the field of agriculture and youth, a survey was conducted using a questionnaire consisting of eight thematic sets (dimensions): attitudes of young people towards agriculture in general, earnings in agriculture, availability of resources, difficulties in work, influence of family, friends and society, legislation, education and career. Based on the results of a survey on a sample of 232 generation Z respondents, we determined the reasons for disinterest in agriculture as an occupation of the future, and identified statistically significant differences between different types of subsamples. Consequently, in this paper we have tried to answer one of the fundamental questions in the field of the Common Agricultural Policy of the European Union. On the one hand, there is a very rapid aging of the agricultural population, and on the other hand a very small number of young people who would choose agriculture as a career path. The results of the paper provide concrete guidelines for future research in the field of agriculture and youth.
