Size and structure of private-sector farmers' families
Abstract
The article presents diversification of procreation behaviours of farmers according
to marital cohorts, birth generations of mothers, area of farms and macroregion
of residence. Subject to analysis were 1623 two- and one-parent farmer
families living on the whole territory of Poland on Dec. 31, 1984.
The results indicate that the number of children in such families gradually
decreases. In the early 1960s there were 3,8 children in the farmer family, in the
early 1970s —3,4, whereas in the second half of the 1970s —2,9 children. The research allowed to observe some demographic regularities. In particular,
1) the number of children rises with the family-development stage; 2) intensity
and character of influence of the area of a farm on the number of children depend
on the family development stage and marriage cohort; 3) the highest mean size
of a family appears in the north, north-east, south-west and south-east macroregions
while the lowest in the middle-east, central and Warsaw macroregions.
In comparison with the town family, which since thе 1960s has been characterized
by a reduced reproduction, the farmer family guarantees continuity
of generations. It assumes the first-rate role in the process of reproduction of
population in the country.
