| Annotation | Rural population ageing in developing countries remains inadequately documented and poorly understood. The author first presented this paper at the 4th Global Conference on Ageing, and argues that agricultural censuses can be a valuable tool for the analysis of rural ageing and its linkages with agriculture. Based on information from selected national agricultural censuses taken between 1985 and 1996, examples are presented of ageing-related topics that can be studied using such census data. These include overall levels of ageing of people attached to agricultural holdings; and associations between the age structure of agricultural holders and particular techno-economic characteristics of holdings.
