Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Report on Migration From Rural Districts in England and Wales, 1913 At the request of the Dominions Eoyal Commission the Board have made enquiries with a view to ascertain to what extent migration is now, and has recently been, takingplace from rural districts, more particularly by that part of the population which is engag-ed in agriculture. The questions on which the Commission especially requested information were the following: - 1. Whether there is actually any deficiency in the supply of rural labour in different districts; and, if so, 2. the extent of such deficiency; 3. whether it is more marked in the case of skilled and trained labour or of young and untrained hands; and 4. whether it is attributable to recent emigration abroad or whether it arises mainly from the transfer of population to towns in this country. A schedule of enquiry (see Appendix) was sent in May last by the Board to - (a) the Boards Agricultural Correspondents; (b)the Boards Crop Reporters; (c)the Boards Market Reporters; (d)Secretaries of Chambers of Agriculture and other bodies in association with the Central Chamber of Agriculture; (e)Secretaries of a large number of co-operative and other bodies affiliated to the Agricultural Organisation Society. Four of the Small Holdings Commissioners also furnished information. The replies fall under three main headings: - 1.Employment in agriculture and supply of agricultural labour. 2. The extent, cause, and direction of migration. 3. Special instances of migration and general observations. It may be well to recall the general facts as to the movement of the rural population during the decade 1901-11, as shown by the recently published Census Report Cd.6258. The decennial increase percent, of the whole population was 1089, being the lowest recorded in any decennium since the first Census in 1801. The rate of increase in 21 counties classed as commercial and industrial was 118 percent., as compared with 134 percent.
