Summary

The results provided in this report are not directly comparable with results from 1998 and earlier on Net receipts etc. for farmers. The main reason for that is that from 1999 a wider household concept is used. Between 1999 and 2000 a change in the way of collecting the information to the Farm Register (LBR) has caused a considerable decrease in the number of older farmers. That has led to a higher increase between the years of about two per cent for the averages for the whole population than it would have been if the old method for collection had been used. For a few variables like "Pensions", "Surplus from capital" and "Net income from capital" this has led to lower results. The impact is supposed to vary between different subgroups.

The average household income before tax-free positive transfers and taxes was for all agricultural households SEK 337 400 in year 2004, an increase with SEK 16 600 or 5 per cent. As the tax-free positive transfers were almost unchanged and the negative transfers increased SEK 5 000 or 5 per cent the household income after transfers increased less - SEK 11 200 or 5 per cent - than income before transfers and amounted to SEK 238 000.

For farmers and spouses the income from business and employment has been calculated for women and men since 1996. For women income from business decreased SEK 100 in year 2004 and income from employment increased SEK 5 200 so that total income from employment and business increased SEK 5 100 or 3 per cent to SEK 166 200. For men the corresponding changes were increases with SEK 1 000 and 5 200 so that total income from employment and business increased SEK 6 200 or 3 per cent to SEK 193 400.

For farmers and spouses the income from business in 2004 for women as share of income for men was 31 per cent. This share was 39 per cent in 1996. On the other hand the corresponding share for income from employment has increased from 95 per cent in 1996 to 105 per cent in 2004. Although women on average since year 2000 earn more money from employment than men, their total income from business and employment was still 14 per cent lower in 2004. Since 1996 the difference has to some extent been reduced as the corresponding figure that year was 18 per cent.
