Abstract

[fre] Au Canada, le fait de la pauvreté rurale a été suffisamment reconnu pour que l'opinion publique s'émeuve et que le législateur entre en action (2). Sous l'impulsion de la loi fédérale ARDA sur l'Aménagement Rural et le Développement Agricole (1961), des travaux de recherche ont été entrepris et des programmes d'action mis en œuvre. On s'interroge aujourd'hui sur la valeur d'efforts qui ne sont peut-être pas assez importants et dont l'orientation peut être contestée (3). . L'auteur cherche à faire le point et à situer les problèmes et les solutions dans une perspective globale et régionale, en se limitant aux familles d'exploitants agricoles du Québec. L'étude de la pauvreté dans son niveau, sa dimension par rapport à l'ensemble des agriculteurs québécois et sa localisation, . souligne son caractère persistant. Les éléments d'analyse économique qui composent la deuxième partie s'attachent à explorer les liens entre la pauvreté et certains facteurs et mécanismes économiques généraux, tel que la productivité du travail et l'adaptation de l'agriculture à la croissance économique. Dans une troisième partie l'auteur procède à un survol des politiques agricoles et de la politique économique générale en rapport avec la pauvreté. . Un essai d'évaluation de ces politiques, notamment de la loi ARDA, est tenté à la lumière de l'analyse économique de la deuxième partie. Quelques propositions sont avancées dans le cadre de politiques à long, moyen et court termes visant à éliminer la pauvreté. [eng] In Canada, rural poverty has been sufficiently recognized for public opinion to be aroused and for the legislative powers to take action. Prompted by the federal law A.R.D.A. concerning Country Planning and Agricultural Development (1961), research projects have been undertaken and programmes of action put into operation. To-day, the Value of these efforts, which are perhaps not sufficiently important, and the orientation of which may be contested, is being questioned. . The writer attempts to sum up the present position and to situate problems and solutions in a global and regional perspective, by limiting his study to the families of Quebec farmers. The study of poverty according to its level, , ans its importance compared with the Quebec agricultural workers as a whole and Us geographical situation underlines its persistent nature. The elements of econoomic analysis which make up the second part are intended to explore the links between poverty and certain general economic factors and mecanisms, such as the productivity of labour and the adaptation of agriculture to economic growth. In a third part, the writer engages in a rapid survey oof agricultural policies and the general economic policy connected with poverty. An evaluation of these policies, particularly of the A.R.D.A. law is attempted w the light of, the economic analysis of the second part.
