摘要

集集鎮番石榴產銷班是行政院農委會90年度農業經營管理診斷輔導點，由於班員平均年齡76歲誠屬於高齡農民類型的產銷班，因而受到研究者的重視。為瞭解影響本班高齡農民繼續營農的相關問題，本文乃設計問卷並針對34位班員進行人員訪談與問卷調查。研究結果顯示，在影響高齡農民繼續營農因素方面，除了休閒健康因素為負向影響外，自主創造、社會尊重、生活保障、社會安定及農業繼承人等因素均為正向影響。其次，就多元迴歸統計分析的結果加以詮釋，顯示影響高齡農民繼續營農因素的問題有三：一、就自我創造與生活保障二個影響因素的相關性來看，農業收入是高齡農民最主要的經濟來源，由於營農有收入而不必向子女拿生活費用，所以生活過得比較自在。二、就生活保障與社會安定二個影響因素的相關性來看，高齡農民年紀大轉業不容易，高齡農民沒有退休金，鮮有積蓄及財產收入，突顯高齡農民經濟生活之不足，是屬於弱勢的族群。三、就農業繼承人影響因素來看，時代潮流所趨，農村青壯人口流向非農業部門，年輕人多不願從事農業經營，缺乏農業繼承人的情況下，迫使高齡農民不得不繼續從事農業經營工作。
