LABOUR RESOURCES AND PRODUCTION-ECONOMIC RESULTS OF SOCIAL FARMS IN POLAND

Abstract

The paper presents a spatial analysis of labour resources, their quantitative-qualitative analysis conducted according to socio-professional status and production-economic results obtained by subsistence farms. The basic facts were provided by survey studies (review questionnaire) conducted on a representative group of farms (random selection) at the turn of 2007/2008 in four regions of the country, characterizing different types of agriculture. The paper is a part of more extensive research and focuses on a chosen group of subsistence farms selected from the whole population of 555 farms based on the criterion of farm economic strength (below 2 ESU units).
