Summary/Abstract: Interest in children’s good growth and development is a natural and normal phenomenon, that has always accompanied the human being’s evolution, yet pretty late analysed and materialized in research works and studies. Of course, the large sphere of children’s education and raising, generates a great many of sectors and specific segments, scientific, social or analytical, that deal with the process from all points of view. The rural area was subjected to numerous changes in time, which influenced the life quality of those who identified themselves with the respective world. The child’s evolution within this world should be studied while taking into account the new phenomena, hard to analyse, that present day society has to face. Be it that one refers to the poor living standard, to economic and social problems, or to serious educational confrontations, the rural world provides an analytically ample subject matter, while work, is a concrete reality in children’s educational process, no matter whether it is a voluntary assumption or a number of elements that makes it a continuous necessity. This study analyses how rural life influences the child’s life, while observing in what way household work plays an important role in the lives of rural children.
