Age structure of farm managers

<p>The manager of the agricultural holding is the person responsible for the normal daily financial and production routines of the holding. Statistics on the manager’s age and sex help analyse the demographic structure of farm management, including generational renewal and gender balance in agriculture. This table includes information on the number of agricultural holdings and annual working units (AWU), by farm managers’ age class and sex and class of economic output (standard output - SO) of the farm, at country level. Annual work unit (AWU) is the full-time equivalent employment. One annual work unit corresponds to the work performed by one person who is occupied on an agricultural holding on a full-time basis. The standard output is the average monetary value of the agricultural output at farm-gate price, in euro per hectare or per head of livestock. Information is based on censuses and sample surveys.</p>
