This paper examines the peasant‐worker phenomenon as an enduring adaptation that has persisted for centuries in the Friuli region of northeastern Italy‐ A preliminary model of peasant‐worker behavior is presented that addresses two basic issues: [1] how peasant‐worker strategies have developed historically; and (2) how peasant‐worker strategies are tied to the social dynamics of rural households. The aim is to create a unified framework for the comparative and historical study of the proletarianization process, [peasant workers, rural labor, family dynamics, economic anthropology, Europe]
