These include technological progress, a persisting attractiveness gap between agriculture and other economic sectors as well as age and education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Microeconomic strategies such as farm diversification are growing in importance, while adding value to farming practices and products. At the same time, tailoring the CAP to regional needs and achieving a common vision for farming employment both across the two pillars of the CAP and across the different policies of the EU is essential to support a shrinking sector and improve rural employment quality.\nOIR has led the overall work and coordinated the various qualitative and quantitative analysis methods used in the study, namely a comprehensive literature review, a combined statistical and mapping analysis as well as detailed regional case studies. This has resulted in an evidence-based report and an in-person presentation at the European Parliament followed by an interactive discussion with MEPs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The aim of this study is threefold: first, analyse the current EU-wide patterns of farming employment; second, investigate the drivers of structural changes within farms and agricultural labour markets; and third, discuss future development paths for the European agricultural sector, including the role of the CAP to address the challenges faced by farmers across the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4683,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"project_category":[219,221],"project_tag":[201,203,234,237,184,188,193],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 -
