Abstract
In his last paper, the author described the distribution of farming households with part-time workers and its changes in the area around Sendai City. In this paper, he discusses the population structure of farming households with part-time workers in the same area.
There are some remarkable regional differences between the areas mainly with part-time farming households and those with full-time farming households, especially concerning age structure, school background and sex ratio of full-time farmers, and concerning the succession of farming. The situation of the supply of agricultural labour is much affected by the employment in areas of dominantly part-time farming. In the full-time farming areas, it is affected by the modernization of agriculture such as the introduction of agricultural machines.
