Abstract

This note presents the conclusions to be drawn from the most recent data concerning health and the death rate in farming. On average - the respective position of small average and big farmers is not known - and in comparison with the whole of the population, farmers still take less care of their health, and are no doubt in less good health ; but they do not die as easily. These conclusions may well seem paradoxical but these are fields where it is particularly difficult to quantify and interpret as one study shows. In example ; is one in bad health because one is a farmer or does one become a farmer because one is in bad health ? As for the farm labourers, in this fields as in many others, they belong to the most under privileged. Their children die more often than the average before they are 12 months old, unlike farmers' children.
