La famille comme unite d'analyse du secteur agricole

Abstract

Why farms are still family farms ? This long debated question tends now to be replaced by new ones concerning the distance between farm and family which makes each of them more autonomous. Economic and social context shifts are responsible for this new focus : family traditionnal constraints are relaxing and women jobs are generalizing ; unemployment rises and simultaneously job precariousness ; agricultural protectionnism is declining. The rising importance of farm household income originated in non or off farm activities comes here at the center of the picture, but has quite different micro and macro-economic meanings according as farmers or farm household members are job takers or job makers for their off or non farm activities, and also as the new income is or not determinant of the farm activity continuation. The study of these changes demands that the family be promoted as the unit of analysis even if its theoritical status is not well established.
