Abstract: The long-term trend in the reduction of the scale of homestead farming is systemic and is the result of a contradictory process of differentiation of private subsidiary farms - degeneration of small and medium-sized ones, and the growth of the largest ones. As a rule, the motivation for the transformation of a part of private subsidiary farms into mini-farms is connected with the conscious choice of their owners, and their entrepreneurial aspirations. At the same time, the expansion of the participation of the able-bodied population, which has the main profitable occupation outside private subsidiary farms, in the productive activity of the household farming reflects the tendency of a decline in the living standard. Using regression analysis it has been revealed an alternative of consumer and commodity economic practices, and of earnings at the main place of work and income of private subsidiary farms activity. It is shown that the main work and earnings of the members of the household leads to a reduction in the needs and opportunities to do business in commodity private subsidiary farms. However, at the same time, the presence of several adults, both able-bodied and, especially, of the retirement age, in the household increases such opportunities and contributes to the growth of the marketability of private subsidiary farms. Expansion of the labour market with an increase in the size of the rural settlement contributes to a decrease in the number of the able-bodied population in personal household activities.
