Topics
I. Maintenance/creation of employment in rural areas:
a. Composition and activities of the on-farm and off-farm
rural workforce.
b. Trade-offs between technical progress and the
maintenance of employment in agriculture and
the agri-food sector.
II. The impact of CAP on agricultural and rural employment:
a. Correlation of CAP expenditure with the development of
agricultural and rural non-agricultural employment across
the EU.
b. Contribution of particular CAP measures having
employment effect by modernising farms, setting up
young farmers, and encouraging product value added and
rural diversification, in particular MSs or regions (regional
or sub-regional case studies are welcome).
c. How the recently reformed CAP is addressing the issue of
rural job creation compared to previous efforts, both in
terms of more equal farm support through Pillar 1, and in
terms of young farmers, short supply chains, farm
modernisation and LEADER in Pillar 2.
d. How further CAP reforms might address rural job
creation, given socio-economic conditions in the later
2010s and beyond.
III. Methodological and data issues.
a. Methodologies for measurement of job creation with
regard to the CAP, e.g. gross versus net job creation,
regional/national employment multipliers.
b. Data sources (e.g. FADN, general EU employment and
business datasets, AMADEUS) for analysis useful for
investigating farm and rural employment patterns and
trends. If such sources are likely to mislead, or contain
gaps, what can be done to improve matters?
