Popović, Marija
The aim of the work is to show the role of the labour force on family farms in the Republic of Serbia as one of the most important resources for agricultural production. The labour force is a key factor in the development of agriculture and rural areas. The unfavorable age structure affects the effective use of the labor force and the productivity of work in agriculture, where there is a pronounced decline in the participation of young people and an increase in the share of the elderly in agricultural production. According to the data of the Census of Agriculture from 2023, the number of members and permanent employees on agricultural farms in the Republic of Serbia is 1,134,999 peo ple. Of the total number family farms, 506,736 (44.65%) are holders of the farms, 627,193 (55.26%) are members of the farms, while 1,070 (0.09%) are permanently employed.
