Abstract

The article is focused on analysing the impact of the transformation of agriculture in 1989 to employment in this sector in Slovakia. The changes that have occurred in the various structures of the labour force are related not only to the significant decline of workers in the year 1999, in particular, they relate to age and educational structure of employees. In another part of the article, the impact of the Slovakia entry into the European Union (EU) is monitored on employment in agriculture, which brought a slow-down of the decline in the number of employees. In comparison with the year 2001, the age structure of the population has worsened in recent years. The agricultural population is steadily growing older and the share of employees in the lower age groups is shrinking. The level of qualification of agricultural employees is increasing. Cooperatives are characterized by the most significant employment. In the issue of the support of the employment in agriculture in Slovakia, is necessary to promote more projects aimed at improving the age structure of the workers, to support young start-up farmers and also to support the rural diversification.
