Abstract
[eng] The Number of People Working in Farming should Continue to Drop . In 1990, one employed person in seventeen worked in farming. In 1954, the ratio was one in four. From 1982 to 1 990, the number of people working in farming dropped by nearly half a million. Only large operations were spared this decrease. Today the percentage of people working in agriculture in France is close to that of its industrialized partners. . The working farm population, which is mostly male, remains old. It has become slightlyyoungeroverthe last fewyears, but this will not last : the farmers who retire increasingly earlier are being replaced by younger ones too slowly. If the trends which were noted between the last two censuses do not go down, there would only be 700 000 farmers left in 1998. [spa] La deberia seguir bajando poblaciôn agrîcola . En 1990, un trabajador activo de cada diecisiete que ocupaba un empleo era agricultor. El promedio era de uno de cada cuatro en 1954. De 1982 a 1990 la poblaciôn activa agrîcola disminuyô en cerca de un medio millôn de personas. Esta disminusciôn no afecto a las grandes explotaciones agrîcolas. Hoy en dîa la tasa de actividad en la agricuitura se asemeja en Francia a la de sus socios industrial izados. . La edad e la poblaciôn agrîcola, mayoritariamente masculina, sigue siendo mayor. El levé rejuveneci- miento constatado durante estos ûltimos anos no durarâ demasiado : la renovation de los agricultures que se acogen a la jubilation cada vez mâs temprano es poco significativa. . Si la evoluciôn registrada entre los dos ûltimos censos de poblaciôn no se modifica, no Ilegarîa a haber mâs de 700 000 cultivadores agrîcolas en 1998. [fre] La population active agricole devrait continuer à baisser . En 1 990, un actif occupant un emploi sur dix-sept est agriculteur. On en comptait un sur quatre en 1954. De 1982 à 1990, la population active agricole a diminué de près d'un demi-million de personnes. Cette décroissance n'a épargné que les grandes exploitations. Aujourd'hui létaux d'activité dans l'agriculture se rapproche en France de celui de ses partenaires industrialisés. . La population agricole, majoritairement masculine, reste âgée. Le léger rajeunissement constaté ces dernières années ne durera pas : le renouvellement par des jeunes des agriculteurs qui partent - de plus en plus tôt - à la retraite est trop faible. . Si les évolutions constatées entre les deux derniers recensements de la population ne s'infléchissent pas, il n'y aurait plus que 700 000 exploitants agricoles en 1998.
