The extent of animal husbandry in relation to agricultural employment

Drlík, J., Nohel, F.

The decrease in animal husbandry in the Czech Republic has been varied across regions. In many districts, dairy cows or pigs have nearly disappeared. It is possible to anticipate that the diminishing volume of animal husbandry will be accompanied with low levels of agricultural employment and vice versa: above-average levels of agricultural employment will be tied to districts with large volumes of cattle breeding. This hypothesis is tested using the data from the Agrocenzus 2010 survey. The survey is collecting data on animal numbers and numbers of workers in agricultural enterprises.
