Abstract
Inclusion of rural population into social trends and development processes is
og key importance for Serbia, considering that rural regions make 85% of its
territory, participating in the gross national product with 41%, and rural population
makes 42% of total population. Inclusion of rural population is important at the
same time from the persepctive of quality of life, realization of rights and
development of the potential of rural population, as well as from the aspect of
sustainable development of rural communities. Rural labour market in Serbia was
devestated during transition, which as a consequence had dislocation of surpluses
of industrial labour into sector of agriculture and increase of hidden
unemployment and poverty on holdings. Therefore, in this paper, some of the facts
which could considerably mitigate current poverty situation in Serbia are
presented.
