Employment Problems in Polish Agriculture

handle is hein.journals/intlr83 and id is 180 raw text is: Employment Problems in Polish Agriculture by Izaslaw FRENKEL In the following pages Mr. Frenkel, who is a senior adviser on agricultural aspects of long-term planning in the Planning Commission of the Polish Council of Ministers, describes the measures taken in his country to tackle rural overpopulation. After making a general survey of policy trends since the war, the author shows how overpopulation has been affected by agrarian reform, land settlement, industrialisation and regional development; he concludes that rural unemployment and underemployment can be finally eliminated only when the present small-farm economy has given place to a system of large-scale socialist ownership and working of the land. This transformation of the agrarian structure is one of the main aims of the Polish long-term development plan (1961-75), the employment aspects of which the author briefly outlines in conclusion. BASIC OBJECTIVES AND TRENDS OF AGRARIAN POLICY IN POLAND THE principal objective of the social and economic policy applied in Poland since the war has been to change Poland from a backward agricultural country, as it was before the war, into a fully developed industrial country with a high standard of living. The agrarian policy being applied in the three main spheres- namely production, technical and structural questions, and social affairs-is playing an important part in the attainment of this objective. Agricultural Production One of the main indices of the improved living conditions of the Polish people is the substantial increase and the changed pattern of its food consumption. The changes that have already taken place in this field and estimates for the future are shown in table I.
