Özet
The continuity and increase in the tendency of rural labor to shift to non-agricultural sectors in Turkey cause concerns. Accurate identification of aforementioned labor movement is important; therefore, this study was conducted using primary data collected from individuals living in a region where the labor movement is active. The aim of this study was to reveal the relationship between the labor potential in rural households and the tendency to shift to non-agricultural jobs with some socio-economic factors. The main material of the study was the survey data, which was conducted through face-to-face questionnaires with 105 families in 5 villages selected from the Tokat Kazova Great Plain Conservation Area. The data obtained were interpreted through percentage distributions, minimum, maximum and average values, and the relationship between the selected socio-economic criteria. The tendency to shift to non-agricultural jobs was evaluated using Chi-square analysis. The results indicated that the education level of men in the 26–50 age range was relatively higher. In addition, the tendency to work in non-agricultural jobs was higher among individuals who have smaller agricultural land, low-income level, no social security and work only in their farms.
