Working Package 5
WP 5: Farm structure evolution
WP leader: UL
Start month: 0
Objectives
The overall aim of this WP is to analyse the evolution of structural change in NMS in relation to agricultural policies and demographic characteristics by:
- comparing different patterns of structural adjustment and identifying determinants of structural change in selected NMS;
- analysing implications for rural labour markets deriving from agricultural structural change and agricultural policies;
- analysing the interrelationship between demography, structural change, and policies using agent-based simulation in Poland and Hungary.
Deliverables
- D 5.1 Working Paper "A comparative analysis of structural adjustment patterns and determinants of structural change in five selected NMS" (month 16)
- D 5.2 Working Paper "Impacts of structural change and structural policies on rural labour markets"
(month 24) - D 5.3 Working Paper "The interrelationships between demography, structural change, and policies in Hungary and Poland" (month 28)
