Egalisation des conditions de vie entre la ville et la campagne en Pologne

Konrad Bajan

Économie rurale, 1976, vol. 111

Abstract: More than half the population of Poland is employed. If one takes into account urban development* the improvement in transport and communications, the higher standard of living, especially in the working class, and improved working conditions in the socialized sector, it is easy to understand the tendency of young people to leave the countryside and the conditions of farm labour to take up more attractive employment and to adopt town life. The attraction of the town is linked with the opportunity of taking advantage of the achievements of scientific and technical progress, of cultural developments, of education, and of cultural and leisure activities. One of the main objectives of socialism is to do away with the differences between town and country. When there is less distance between town and country farm labour seems less unpleasant ; it is also a means of helping farmers financially, helping them to invest, developing forms of cooperation. It is also a means of guaranteeing decent living conditions for peasant families by improving rural housing, and by constantly increasing their income. In this way the government is trying to give the Polish countryside of tomorrow a form corresponding to the model of the modern socialist society.
