Abstract :
Liberalisation of the labour market is resulting
in greater flexibility in the supply of agricultural workers,
which is particularly noticeable within the European
Union. The aim of the study is to identify the causes that
have led to a decrease in the number of jobs in
agriculture, given that it is a basic activity for rural
inhabitants in Romania. In order to identify the causes
that contributed to the decrease in the number of jobs in
agriculture, the data were analysed quantitatively and
qualitatively, using two statistical methods to describe the
variability between the observed elements: factor analysis
and Pearson coefficient. The results of the study indicate
that the degree of mechanisation leads to better land use,
bringing considerable increases in yields. At the same
time, the degree of mechanisation leads to a decrease in
the need for manual (unskilled) labour, as many activities
are now automated.
