Summary: The village and agriculture are living through great changes that reflect our whole social and economic development. In villages those changes happen on three mutually connected levels: - village as settlement and rural estate within which the village inhabitants organize their whole life, - household as the basic social substance within which all demografic, social and economic changes happen, and - family housekeeping as productional-economic unit of an household but also an important branch of national economy. As the village rappresents more than 80% of our total territory on which more than half of our inhabitants live and the agriculture rappresents a very important economic activity it is therfore very important to establish and explain all changes in that environment in order to examine their consequences. The results of these examinations should be a scientific basis on which the development policy towards the village and agriculture would be based.

Keywords: village, village inhabitants, village households, agriculture, family housekeeping, agricultural production, products, commodity, households income, development.

Research goals: The basal object of the researches is to become aware of the complex of social-economic changes in the agriculture and in the village, to establish and follow the changes as well as the factors that provoke them.
