Abstract

Slovenian farm family is facing transformation. It is still traditional in some respects, but it also
gains some modern characteristic as well as post-modern. Also the structure of farm household is
changing; it is mostly gathered around by nuclear family core. Anyway farm family still
preserves intergenerational solidarity. Older generation helps younger mostly by babysitting. Nowadays farm households have much less children, but the fertility level is high enough to
preserve the farm population. Younger generation is still prepared to take care of the older, but at
the same time they want to keep their privacy. Passing the farm to a younger generation is
unreliable, and the time when a successor takes over the farm is often not defined.
