Abstract

This article examines the characteristics of young people in the agriculture sector in Serbia and EU countries. The paper analyzes the age structure of agricultural holdings, gender representation in terms of the ownership structure and management of the agricultural household, level of education and motivation to stay in the countryside. In the desire to encourage and motivate the engagement of an increasing number of employment in the agricultural sector, with a special focus on young people, the paper highlights the defined goals of aid by the European Commission with a detailed plan and financial resources allocated to support young farmers in the EU. The paper suggests that insufficient employment of young people in the agricultural sector in Serbia can be improved by creating a more effective work policy and financial support for young people.
