Résumé anglais The Small Chilean Agricultural Farm. Popular Front-Military Government (1938-1979). The petty agricultural household has undergone during the past forty years all the consequences of the social and economic transformations of the country. The small farmers who had been until 1962 subordinated to the hacienda system, became suddenly dependant on the co-operative and the agro-food industries created by the various reforms promoting the modernization of agriculture (1962-1973). But rare were the minifundios which managed to survive though they were the main supply of basic food items consumed by the poor rural and urban population. The rural depopulation increases faster in spite of the fact that the urban labor market is totally saturated since 1950. Forms of precarious work amplify. Migrants settle on small plots on the outskirts of the towns and form a rural proletariat surviving only due to the multiplicity of its occupations, while concentration brings land in the hands of a few wealthy people.
