The Non-Agricultural Population in the Village: Differentiation and Proletarianization of Rural Society.
The non-agricultural population is becoming the majority of working population in rural districts of Midi-Pyrénées area. But this population cannot be considered as an homogeneous body beside the farmers who are themselves very differentiated. The inquiry work held in six districts "representative of various regional situations enables to characterize the social groups in the village. Among the non-farmers, the most numerous are the workers and the employees, working on the spot or daily migrants. If a lot of them have a country descent, a strong minority among the non-agricultural working people has been living in the village for only a short period. The passage from agriculture to non-agricultural activities does not occur preferably on the spot. Workers above all can be double-active. It is true, especially in agricultural districts. But the double-activity is often only transitory. Then it has a familial reality, and develops itself only rarely at the individual level.
The conflict between social groups is due to their behaviour in social and municipal life. If the tradesmen, the craftsmen, the local bourgeoisie, the middle-class farmers and sometimes the officials in public and private sectors ' occupy ' the Town Council and supervize the socio-cultural life, the workers, the employees and the small farmers stay on the fringe of the village society. are the workers and the employees, working on the spot or daily migrants.
