Changes in the Socio-economic Composition of Rural Households in Dalmatia

Autor iznosi dio rezultata istraživanja »Društveno- -ekonomske promjene u poljoprivredi i selu Dalmacije «, a koji se odnose na analizu tipova seoskih domaćinstava i njihovih promjena. Rezultati istraživanja ukazali su: — na intenzivnu marginalizaciju poljoprivrednog zanimanja koja se očituje u naglašenom padu udjela poljoprivrednih domaćinstava, te se prema vitalnim obilježjima može sa sigurnošću očekivati daljnje opadanje broja ovog tipa domaćinstva; — da je nepoljoprivreda kao djelatnost i zanimanje osvojila selo, a to se očitovalo u eksplozivnom širenju nepoljoprivrednoga i mješovitog tipa domaćinstva. No, iseljavanje omladine nagrizlo je i nagriza vitalne kapacitete ovih tipova domaćinstava što upućuje na zaključak da ekonomski model razvoja sela, na bazi zapošljavanja radne snage prvenstveno izvan seoske sredine, nije dovoljno atraktivan i neće riješiti problem depopulacije sela. — na starenje sela i ekspanziju raznih tipova domaćinstava »bez radne snage« što biva sve veći socijalni i ekonomski problem selaThe author presents some of the results of a research project entitled Socio-economic Changes in Agriculture and the Village in Dalmatia, which refer to an analysis of types of rural households and changes that are taking place in them. The results show that: — there is an intense marginalization of the agricultural profession which is shown through the growing decrease of the participation of agricultural households, and vital characteristics show that the further decrease of this type of household is certain; — non-agriculture as an activity and a profession has dominated the village, as can be seen in the explosive spreading of non-agricultural and mixed households. But the departure of young people has also eroded the vital capacities of this type of household, which allows us to conclude that the economic model of village development based on employment primarily outside the village is not attractive enough and will not solve the problem of village depopulation; — the village is growing older and the increase of various types of households »without a labour force« is becoming an ever greater social and economic problem in the village
