IMPACT ASSESSMENT OF FACTORS ON INCOME DYNAMICS IN RURAL AREAS IN CONTEXT OF STRUCTURAL CHANGES IN AGRICULTURE

Summary/Abstract: Motives: This study analyzes the impact of structural changes in Azerbaijan's agriculture, especially changes in the structure of land resource use on dynamics of agricultural household income. The results obtained in this regard are of interest in terms of a more accurate assessment of the role of factors determining the level of well-being of the population in rural areas. Aim: This research aims to identify the nature, direction and scale of the impact of the structural changes in agriculture on the incomes of households in rural areas. Results: Results of the study indicate that there is a significant positive correlation between indices of cultivated areas and pasture and mowing areas, as well as between the number of animals in conventional units (head) and the index of average monthly income per capita from agricultural activities. There is a significant negative correlation between the index of perennial plants and average monthly income per capita from agricultural activities. In the recent period, a combination of relevant factors created conditions that were unfavorable for significant growth in rural incomes derived from agricultural activities.
