Abstract
The relation of Capital-Wage Labour has been sprending in the rural region since about 1955 and the farmers with a side job have been increasing. Now the ratio of the farmers with a side job is about 90 percent. And naturally they are bringing about the great changes to the farmer's “Family” and “Rural Community”.
So a purpose of this paper is to make the aspects of their changes clear. In the case it is important to analyse not one side of changes but a total aspect of them.
Because they have been changing in the organic-structural relation between the development of “Local Labour market”, the increase of the agricultural productivity and their working life.
The district researched on this paper is S hamlet, Maki town, Nishikanbara county, Niigata prefecture. It's a famous rice-producing district. It's district shows the great ratio of relative big farms in Japan, but too shows the great ratio of the f arms with a side job.
Firstly I will explain the features of “Local Labour market” and the agricultural production in Nishikanbara.
Secondly I try to analyse S hamlet's social history, especially giving attention to the basical transformation of the farmer's life, such as the size of land, the farm machanization and the pattern of jobs. Besides it is impossible to neglect the effect that the readjustment of arable land in 1971 brought about to district.
Thirdly I try to refer to the following aspects. They are “Family Life”, “Working Life” and “the Life of Rural Community”. They constituted in theirselves “the Living Process on Present” of the farmers with a side job.
