The aim of the study is to determine the level of financial literacy of academic youth from rural areas in the V4 Group countries, as well as to compare the results obtained with the level of financial literacy of young people from cities. The source of data used for analysis and inference were primary information obtained from own research (PAPI method, 900 people). The research used a set of questions to assess the level of financial literacy of adults proposed by the OECD INFE. In addition to primary sources, secondary sources were also used to achieve the goal. The measures of descriptive statistics and one-way analysis of variance (F) were used. The level of financial literacy was determined at the medium level, which may indicate the low effectiveness of financial education measures implemented at different levels of education. The component of financial literacy where students from rural areas had the lowest scores was basic financial knowledge. Only 43% of people from rural areas achieved the minimum target score.

The study is intended to signal changes in the way of communication in a rural family, including the problem of shrinking or even disappearance of traditional oral communication. For centuries, this message has determined the transmission of broadly understood culture, including traditions and customs. At present, the spoken word, one of the typical features of peasant culture, is being forced out of family life for the sake of other forms of communication. The forum for exchanging thoughts, opinions or views has moved from the family table to the Internet, and the activity in conducting conversations is focused primarily on social media or various types of discussion forums.

We have lots of information about the look and forms of medieval villages, we know less about their social profile. As indicated by research, there were also villages where special citizen groups were concentrated in the Early Middle Ages, such as villages of peasants, serfs, fishermen, guests etc. (villae rusticorum, servorum, piscatorum, hospitorum).

After 1945 a number of changes occurred in rural Poland in relation to the education of farmers and their families, and the role of education in the lives of rural residents. First of all, a new group of peasant intelligentsia was formed, coming from the peasant or working-class environment. It was to replace the earlier elites by working in the spirit of socialist ideas and supporting the development of the state. Due to the need to rebuild the country and increase the efficiency of agriculture, educators and agricultural advisors trained in cities were also directed to villages. Pursuant to the implemented education development programs, farmers’ children gained access to schools, and parities were created for them at universities. As a result, there was a greater chance for farmers to send their children to universities, but this required financial capabilities of the family, as well as the belief that the education acquired would mean social advancement. The purpose of the article is to analyze the structure of education and educational opportunities of rural residents during the People’s Republic of Poland.

The reborn Poland was a country with a definite dominance of the agricultural sector over other sectors of the national economy. The financial situation of the village had a huge impact on the development of the country’s economy. With a good situation in the agricultural sector, other areas of the economy could develop quickly. With the financial crisis in the 1930s – which the Polish village found itself in – other branches of the economy were also in a weak condition.

This article concerns a fragment of research interests of the ethnographer from Lodz – professor Jaworska. In fact, Jaworska neither created the methodological theory of doing an ethnographical field research in a rural socio-cultural context nor the special theory connected with rural study, despite the fact that the most important area for her (in terms of science as well as her personal interests) were the Carpathian villages and the type of pastoral economy. The author of the text analyzes the letters of Jaworska written over 40 years, which reflect Jaworska’s attitude to her mountain field work carried out there as well as to the area itself.

The paper introduces the life of an ordinary villein Martin Jaroš who lived in the village of Kročehlavy. The description of his life story is based on a land register (started in 1607), which shows the potential of this kind of source to bear evidence of people’s lives. The land register does not provide any information about the childhood of Martin Jaroš, but it describes his adult life in detail. It discloses the fact that he acquired his surname Jaroš together with a homestead which he bought in 1584. Before that, his name was probably Němec. This homestead was the largest in the village, which might have been the reason why he did not manage to pay it off. In the year 1618 he left it to his son Jiří and took possession of an inn. He kept it until 1626 when he retired. He died probably between the years 1628-1629. In addition, we know about his four sons and his brother Václav. The author tries to show how valuable the information from a land register can be for the reconstruction of the life story of an ordinary villein.

Andrey Fiedarenka (born in 1959) – author of the books: History of the disease (1989), Misery (1994), Afghan casket (2002), No one’s (2009), The Chain (2012), Silence (2014) and others, winner of many awards, including Jerzy Giedroyc Literary Award. The writer is considered a classic of Belarusian literature. In his artistic work, three basic types of heroes can be distinguished: inhabitants of villages, city dwellers and writers. The presentation of often difficult family relations, differences in characters and life priorities of the heroes become for A. Fiedarenka a pretext for deliberations on the subject of contemporary man’s life, his attitude towards people and nature. In his stories, the writer presents primarily people disappointed with life, lonely, seeking the sense of existence in contact with nature. Only hero-writers can be distinguished from the gallery of poor wretches.

Sources of research and subject literature do not give a clear picture of differentiation of the peasantry in terms of financial status. The problem concerns both the amount of property owned by them (land and livestock) and place in the hierarchy. This fact is very much difficult, sometimes even impossible to study the layers of peasant and any generalizations about it. It seems that the only possible way to study the most populous state in the Republic is to track individual fates of individual units that make it possible not precise enough to qualify for the category of the peasantry, but observe the changes taking place in the financial status over time and associated with the action taken.

In the period of 1999–2012 reform of education and administrative division of the country took place in Poland. The changes of educational infrastructure and its utiliza-tion in the Lower Silesia against Polish total was primarily analyzed. Particular attention was paid to rural areas, because education of their citizens clearly differs from the nation-al level. The aim of the study was to assess whether the young people of the village have educational opportunities similar to those of the people of the country in general and where the differences in the level of their education occur. The analysis included the education of children and youth from upbringing in nursery to finishing secondary education. Based on the CSO data demonstrated partial improvement of conditions and educational opportunities, including rural areas, where for example, majority of the children were covered by pre-school education.

This article deals with encountering of history and ethnology during the study of the village of the past centuries. On the basis of the study itself I show how often I am obliged to use historical methods, in spite of the fact that I study the subject from the ethnological point of view. Kročehlavy was a small village in the 16th century. It consisted just of seven farmsteads. In the 17th century, two of those farmsteads had been bought for the needs of the manor-house. After the thirty Years’ War, the reconstruction proceeded very slowly. Manorial nobility rebuilt the manor-house and increased so the corvée. On account of the manor-house and the unsatisfactory remedy of the war damage, the area of the villiens’ farmsteads was reduced. simultaneously, the lord of the manor transferred the dues to the pastor of Kladno from the original farmsteads, that were transformed to the manor-house, to the villeins. However, these villeins refused it and rebelled against this practice.Their resistance was so great that they were expelled from the farmhouses, which were then occupied by the German colonists from the Broumov manor. During those turbulent circumstances, the farmland was divided into lots. this period was followed by peaceful development.

The text focuses on the problem of the material culture of the village in the seventeenth and eighteenth century. However, the main goal was not to reconstruct the complete material furnishings of the village homestead. This represents just one of the possible ways for approaching the inner spiritual life of the village population. The text is based on the empirical research of the archival sources. The archival information was subsequently confronted with the results of older scientific works with the same objectives. The text is composed as a case study based on the sources coming from four dominions of South Bohemia (Třeboň, Hluboká nad Vltavou, Protivín and Orlík nad Vltavou). As a main point of departure from the point of view of the heuristic were used inheritance inventories, supplemented by documents from the area of criminal law. From the point of view of the method, the work can be classified as microhistory. It makes use especially of the reflexive approaches of historical anthropology; in the realm of theory, it draws upon the “history from below” concepts. Even though the text is not apurely regional study, the authors do not aim to generalizations in the first place. They are well aware of the fact that the validity of some partial information cannot be carried over mechanically to other ethnographical areas.

The aim of the article was to present the differentiation of consumption in different types of incomplete rural single-parent households (single parents). The aim was also to create their own typology of biologically incomplete families with the exemplification of the level and structure of consumption in the types of households created. The source material was individual data from the survey of CSO household budgets for 2014. The determinants that had the strongest relationship with consumer spending were: disposable income per capita, level of head education and socioeconomic status of the household. Smaller influences on consumption were as variable as the age and gender of household heads.

Celem artykułu było przedstawienie zróżnicowania konsumpcji w różnych typach wiejskich gospodarstw domowych rodziców samotnie wychowujących dzieci wyróżnionych ze względu na kryteria ekonomiczne, społeczne i demograficzne. Celem było także stworzenie własnej typologii rodzin biologicznie niepełnych zamieszkujących wieś z egzemplifikacją poziomu i struktury konsumpcji w utworzonych typach gospodarstw domowych. Materiał źródłowy stanowiły niepublikowane, indywidualne dane z badania budżetów gospodarstw domowych GUS za 2014 r. Determinantami mającymi najsilniejszy związek z wydatkami na dobra konsumpcyjne w wiejskich gospodarstwach domowych osób samotnie wychowujących dzieci okazały się: dochód rozporządzalny na osobę, poziom wykształcenia głowy domu oraz status społeczno-ekonomiczny gospodarstwa domowego. Natomiast mniejszą siłą związku cechowały się takie zmienne, jak wiek i płeć głowy domu.
