Summary The report contains the proceedings of the Second Session of the Working Party on Rural Sociological Problems, a subsidiary body of the FAO European Commission on Agriculture. Along with the report two papers submitted to the Working Party are presented for publication in this special issue. The Second Session of the Working Party had before it a very substantial agenda for discussion and deliberation. Under the first broad subject, Rural Social Change in Europe , there was an interim general report on Different Forms of Part‐Time Farming , accompanied by a number of preliminary country reports; in addition, there were two separate studies, one from Poland, the other from the United States of America. The latter is published here. Under the same subject mentioned above, there was an interim report on Social Implications of the Mechanization of Agriculture ; next a contribution from the I lo , dealing with the Nature and Effects of Selective Rural Migration ; and thirdly a paper by the OECD discussing Social Implications of Rural Development and Planning. The second broad subject, Rural Family in a changing Environment , was dealt with in two papers: a Study on the Social Situation of Farm Women in the Federal Republic of Germany ; and a Survey on Rural Youth , organized and carried out by the Scottish Association of Young Farmers' Clubs. There was in addition a communication from the Working Party on Home Economics regarding research to be carried out in collaboration with the Working Party. The Social Aspects of Group Action in Agriculture was the third broad subject. Four country reports, from the United Kingdom, the Federal Republic of Germany, the Netherlands and Spain, were briefly discussed. One other paper submitted was a continuation of a project previously carried out by the ad hoc Working Party. This is the Review of Sociological Investigations and of Institutions Engaged in Research and Training in Rural Sociology. This paper is also published in this issue. The suggestions for future work spelt out in broad outline the projects to be carried out which constitute the programme for the next biennium.
