AN ATTEMPT AT MEASURING THE DEAGRARIANISATION PROCESS OF POLISH RURAL AREAS AT NUTS4 LEVEL

Summary/Abstract: Deagrarianisation is a complex concept, which denotes a declining economic significance of agriculture and agricultural production in society at large, and rural economy and society in particular. The article is an attempt at constructing a composite indicator of the process of deagrarianisation using variables obtained by official statistics. The proposed composite indicator of deagrarianisation is then used to assess the intensity of deagrarianisation of rural areas between 2002 and 2010 in NUTS4 units (Pol. powiat) of the province of Wielkopolska.
