概要 This paper clarifies the changes in Korean rural society under globalization based on the 2015 Agricultural Census. In Korea, large-scale farmers were supported with the aim of improving agricultural ...competitiveness under the market opening in the 1990s, but many small-scale farmers did not receive support, polarizing the farmer class into large and small farmers. According to popular wisdom, polarization increases inequality and thereby creates tension in rural societies. However, we found that such tension does not exist in rural Korea because outsourcing operations make large- and small-scale farmers interdependent. More specifically, we found that elderly small-scale farmers outsource heavy farming work to large-scale farmers who own machines. Large-scale farmers can depreciate large machines by undertaking heavy farming work. On the other hand, small-scale farmers can save machine ownership costs. Of late, contract fees have been falling due to competition among large-scale farmers, which creates a favourable conditions for small-scale farmers. While rural polarization usually brings tension and instability to rural societies, we found that this mechanism of outsourcing work between large and small farmers has brought equilibrium and stability to rural Korea.続きを見る
