  2. Households associated with agricultural holdings: Socio-economic dimensions • Outline • Introduction • What is the Agricultural-Population Linkage database? • 1: Understanding household earnings: patterns and change over time • The way farm earnings are received by household members • Structure of agricultural holdings by business size • Increasing labour force participation rates by women • Regional patterns • 2: Typology of farmers versus a typology of farms • 3: Labour supply generated by census-farm operator households • 4: Typology of households by farm<>non-farm work patterns • 5: Do young(er) operators have agricultural-related post- secondary education? • 6. Summary • References • Appendix A: The Agriculture-Population Linkage: An Overview of the Methodology • Appendix B: Selected studies based, in whole or in part, on the Agriculture-Population Linkage database

  3. Households associated with agricultural holdings: Socio-economic dimensions • Outline • Introduction • Farming families and family farms remain a policy focus in Canada. • The Canadian Agriculture-Population Linkage database is a unique database that assembles: • the characteristics of the agricultural holding (from the Census of Agriculture questionnaire); and • the characteristics of each member of the household of each operator of an agricultural holding (from the Census of Population questionnaire). • In this paper, we have pursued selected topics to illustrate the utility of this database.

  4. Households associated with agricultural holdings: Socio-economic dimensions • Summary • During the 1990s, 20% of the earnings of all census-farm operator households (CFOH) were received as unincorporated net farm income. • CFOH members may receive agric. earnings as wages or dividends. • During the 1990s, estimated “agric. labour and capital earnings” was about 30% of total household earnings. • This is most important for CFOH associated with larger ag. holdings. • The distrib. of agric. holdings, according to the capacity to provide a net farm inc. above the low inc. cut-off, has not changed – suggesting little change in the demand for CFOH to find other sources of earnings. • Est. agric. labour and capital earnings, as a % of total hshld. earnings, has declined for CFOH associated with each size of agric. holding. • A typology of “farmers” cross-tab. with a typology of “farms” shows no one-to-one mapping of operators as “farmers” and holdings as “farms” • Within CFOH, more women are “measured” in the labour force and most are working in non-farm occupations. • Males in CFOH shifted (a bit) from a farm to a non-farm occupation. • Institutions providing agric.-related post-sec. educ. have reached 15% to 42% (depending upon the prov.) of the younger operators of “viable” farms.
