      abstract = {The labour force engaged in the agricultural sector is  declining over time, and one can observe the reallocation  of labour from family members to hired workers. Using  farm-level data, this paper analyses the on-farm labour  structure in Greece and assesses the factors driving its  evolution over the period 1990-2008. The impact of  agricultural policies and farm characteristics is examined  in a dynamic panel analysis. Family and hired labour are  found to be substitutes rather than complements, while  agricultural support measures appear to negatively affect  demand for both family and hired labour. Decoupled payments  and subsidies on crops are found to have a significant  impact on both sources of labour, as well as subsidies for  rural development that do not favour on-farm labour use.  The paper also finds that structural labour adjustments are  the result of farm characteristics, such as farm size and  location. The results are robust to various estimation  techniques and specifications.},
