The perceived prestige of agricultural occupations among youth
Low prestige of agricultural occupations may result in low interest of youth to work in agriculture. This
contributes to the lack of labour in agriculture and to rural-urban migration, problems prevalent
worldwide. Not much research has been done to understand the perceived prestige of agricultural
occupations. To close this gap, in the project presented, we investigate the occupational prestige level
of agriculture-related occupations relatively to other occupations as perceived by youth. We will present
a survey results from the Altai Krai in russian Siberia based on a sample of 350 students collected in
2018.
With the recent COVID-19 outburst, COST Actions have become seriously limited in promoting the involvement of stakeholders, whether they are other researchers and scholars, policy-makers, representatives of public services or NGO’s.
In the case of CA 18213, this is a very demanding situation. That is why we offer this webinars sessions for all the members, stakeholders and persons interested in our topic.
