- Abstract
The aim of paper is to reveal the preliminary results of socio-economic diagnosis carried out on smallholders in RO04 Region of Romania - West and South West Regions of Romania. The multi-layered, probabilistic sample volume, representative for the macro-region (maximum permitted error of ±1.6%) consisted of 4.100 persons aged 18 and over. The interviews were conducted using CATI method. Fieldwork was conducted between 5 to 19th September, 2010. For the studied sample, the respondents with numerous LUs are more available for professional association (p<0.05), having greater expectations for their children (p<0.001), are more interested in training courses (p<0.001), farm management courses (p<0.001) or to start business (p<0.001), for a period of 1-3months (p<0.001), they are more demanding on results of educational activities (competences and skills - p<0.01), but willing to pay better courses (p<0.001). The responders with low LUs are easier to satisfy through educational activities (p<0.01) on a short or long period (p<0.001),and more interested in a new possible reconverting in nonagricultural areas (p<0.001). New models based on self-directed learning or lifelong learning programs for stallholders/farmers must be adapted and promoted in RO04 in order to increase knowledge in rural area by University outreach.
