“…This is true also for other comparably rich transition countries where large enterprises play a substantial role -such as Slovakia, hungary or Estonia (Macours, Swinnen 2005). The czech decrease went hand in hand with a decrease in production (hrabánková et al 2007) and an establishment of a new entrepreneurial structure of the sector (horalíková, Majerová 2000). The results of it are not entirely positive, most visibly with regard to the worsening age structure of agricultural workforce.…”

There are numerous influences affecting the age structure of agricultural workforce. These range from the economic, social and demographic factors to the technical and political determinants, and to analyze all of them would go far beyond the scope of the present paper. our analysis thus focuses only on the factors which are, in a primary way, tied to the agricultural labour market, or, in other words, the factors produced or co-produced by the dynamics of the labour market. other influences, even though they might be related to labour markets or manifest themselves there, are thus omitted. The sheer fact that it is possible to identify the factors tied to the agricultural labour market in a primary way proves the status of agricultural labour market as a phenomenon of its own kind, with its own structure and dynamics. Apart from being a place where supply meets demand, labour market is also a place of job-related negotiations. These are affected by the influences of state and state institutions, Trade Unions and other interests. Economic and social processes in the labour market are thus determined by a multitude of factors (hrabánková et al. 2007). The four major factors we will concentrate on are the following: demand for workforce, supply of workforce, wages, Aging of the agricultural workforce in relation to the agricultural labour marketStárnutí zemědělců ve vazbě na agrární trh práce D. Spěšná, P. Pospěch, F. Nohel, J. Drlík, M. Delín Institute of Agricultural Economics and Information, Prague, Czech RepublicAbstract: The development of age structure of czech agricultural workforce has been continuously predominantly negative since 1989 and it constitutes a serious problem in terms of reproduction of agricultural workforce. The present paper abstains from analyzing the demographic, economic and socio-political influences on this process and tries to identify the specific factors inherent in the agricultural labour market. it considers opportunities for improving the age structure of agricultural workforce provided by the labour market system, particularly in relation to the supply of workforce, demand for it, unemployment and wage levels. An abductive approach, based on a secondary analysis of quantitative data and the authors' own empirical survey, identifies a set of hypotheses about the relationship between agricultural labour market and the age structure of agricultural workforce.Key words: agriculture, agricultural labour market, aging of agricultural workforce, supply and demand, unemployment, wage levels Abstrakt: Věková struktura pracovníků v zemědělství v Čr se od roku 1989 vyvíjí negativně a v současnosti představuje závažný demografický problém ohrožující možnosti reprodukce zemědělské pracovní síly. V následujícím textu hledáme příčiny této situace, přičemž se soustředíme pouze na tu skupinu faktorů, které působí bezprostředně na agrárním trhu práce (a odhlížíme tedy od širších ekonomických, sociodemografických a politických souvislostí). Možnosti zlepšení věkové struktury zemědělců jsou dány ...

“…2 Studies conducted in post-socialist states (Furmankiewicz 2012;Furmankiewicz and MackenWalsh 2016;Kovach and Kucerova 2006;Macken-Walsh and Curtin 2012;Majerova 2009;Marquardt et al 2012;Pawłowska 2017;Zajda 2014;Zajda and Kretek-Kamińska 2013) indicate numerous problems associated with intersectoral collaboration between these organisations. In Poland (similar to other countries), local action groups have traditionally been dominated by local power elitesrepresentatives of the public sector (Furmankiewicz and Macken-Walsh 2016, p. 14).…”

Collaboration between non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and public institutions, in accordance with the new public governance model, may contribute to actions by such organisations on behalf of both the co-production and co-construction of social services. The aim of this article is to assess the role of selected traits of NGO leaders in determining the chances of collaboration between NGOs and rural gmina offices in central, postsocialist Poland. The authors present the results of studies on selected subjective determinants of such collaboration, in which 104 leaders of NGOs from 29 rural gminas participated. Five independent research tools were implemented. Logistic regression analysis was used to assess the role of selected traits of NGO leaders in determining the potential for collaboration between NGOs and rural gmina offices. The final model indicates that the potential for collaboration between an NGO and a rural gmina office increases alongside higher levels of education, social competences and locus of control and decreased control ideology among NGO leaders. On this basis, the authors formulate practical conclusions concerning the education of leaders of rural NGOs in post-socialist Poland.

“…This is also true for those who live on farms and work in agriculture, (Majerová, 2009). in romania, the fragmentation of agricultural land after 1990 and the opportunities for getting non-agricultural jobs in the cities have turned many village dwellers from full-time farmers and forest workers into civil servants, who practice agriculture only as a complementary activity meant to ensure them a proper living standard.…”

This paper intends to demonstrate on the basis of a case study that rural people's access to modern goods and services is not necessarily a relentless source of deculturalisation, because it sometimes allows a better management and valorisation of the main characteristics of the rural space. despite socio-economic unrest and successive changes of political regimes that took place in romania during the last century, the human communities within the arges foothills have defended with dignity their traditional material and spiritual values, passing them down from generation to generation. in the medium and long-term, the valorisation of the romanian rural space, in general, and of that belonging to the arges foothills, in particular, will imply the creation of a balance between the valuable cultural potential and the quality of life of the inhabitants, who are the keepers of rural cultural heritage. at present, the best thing to do to pass on the traditions of this area is to proudly accept the affiliation to this geographical space. This is true not only for the permanent inhabitants of rural settlements, but mostly for those who have left the countryside to carry it in their minds and souls. in our opinion, this fact is a pre-requisite for preventing the loss of material and spiritual values of this cultural-historical space.
