Changing gender roles in Hungarian agriculture
Abstract The author introduces the paper with a brief overview of the most important changes in Hungarian agriculture during this century, concentrating on changes in land ownership. The following part describes the impact of the overall socio-economic changes on female employment. The author goes on to analyse factors affecting the position of women in large-scale farming, pointing out differences between men and women in education, training, employment and status. Following the growing attraction of employment in agriculture, increasing numbers of young women have been ‘pushed out’ of farming. The paper concludes with an analysis of women's role in private, small-scale farming. The trend towards increasing market orientation and interests seems to be reducing the role of women in decision-making, despite their major role in day-to-day farm work. The analysis emphasizes the disadvantageous situation of women vis-à-vis men.
