農業發展曾經在臺灣的經濟建設史上，佔有輝煌一頁，民國四十至五十年代，農民胼手胝足地配合政府農業政策，不只增裕農業生產，同時也奠定臺灣日後工商發展之基礎，然而隨著臺灣經濟的發展，工商業產值佔GDP比例加重，農業產值佔GDP比例卻逐年下降，農業經營也面臨許多難題及衝擊，農戶所得水準相對非農戶為低，老年農民生活保障不足等問題一再被提出討論，同時由於近年來農業生產不符經濟效益等因素，且部分農民福利措施對農民資格的界定迭起社會爭議，因此各項保障農民福利措施的公平性及必要性亦隨之引起爭論，本文試著從農民的社會保險、老年給付、租稅福利、價格補貼及其它救（補）助措施等五方面，來探討農民的福利保障現況，並針對現況缺失提出檢討與建議，尤其面對全球經濟自由化趨勢下，如何協助農業經營轉型，增進農民福利，應是農民、農業部門及政府需共同思索的問題。 / The prosperity of agriculture played an important role in Taiwan’s economical construction history. In 1940’s and 50’s, Taiwan’s farmers, actively responding to the agriculture-developing policy, not only increased the agricultural production, but also helped to establish a firm foundation for the following industrial and commercial development in Taiwan. However, as the industrial and commercial value increases yearly in GDP, the value of agriculture in GDP, on the other hand, decreases year after year. Farmers thus faced many problems and challenges. Issues such as the obvious poorer condition of farmers’ life compared to the non-farmer, and the unsatisfying welfare state of retired farmers are frequently among the arguments. Furthermore, owing to the facts that most farmers own some real estates as the grounds they plant and yet their production can’t even reach the bottom line of economical effect, the necessity and justification of farmers welfare measures are consequently evoking constant controversy. The goal of this thesis, therefore, is trying to examine the status of Taiwan’s farmers’ welfare state in the following five fields: farmer’s social insurance, elderly farmer’s allowance, tax welfare, price subsidy and other assistance measures, and to raise my proposals and suggestions to solve these problems. How to help farmers to do well in the transformation of agricultural management and thus improve their welfare state should be a public issue for farmers themselves and the agriculture departments as well as the whole government, especially when facing the trend of liberalization of the global economics.

Enfocamos as imagens, enquanto categoria de análise e, para situar o tema das imagens do idoso agricultor, privilegiamos a abordagem sobre a modernidade sob o fato de que o processo de modernização de alta intensidade tem invadido todas as esferas da vida social, inclusive a esfera dos direitos e das políticas públicas. Constata-se que a teia de relações formata a política de Previdência Social, resignifica, legitima e elabora diferentes imagens dos idosos em geral, e dos idosos agricultores em particular. Estas novas imagens, criadas no contexto da modernidade tensionam e imprimem mudanças na racionalidade, que permeia a concessão dos benefícios previdenciários aos idosos agricultores no momento de receber a aposentadoria. Deste modo, as imagens foram analisadas, levando-se em consideração os processos sociais modernos e globais, traduzidos localmente, possibilitando, visualizar traços e características definidoras das imagens dos idosos agricultores na área em estudo, tentando mostrar a diversidade de interpretações e conflitos que se manifestam no processo de concessão do benefício. Como recurso metodológico, privilegiamos os relatos orais e as manifestações de como o elemento simbólico e material do benefício alteram as imagens dos sujeitos, no sentido de atribuir significados e resignificar as imagens do idoso. (QUEIROZ (1998), THOMPSOM (1992), LANG, 2006). Os dados foram analisados à luz dos conceitos sobre imaginário social, modernidade e políticas públicas. Percebemos que o INSS como instituição de concessão de benefícios elabora imagens do idoso agricultor pela atividade laboral exclusiva na terra, pelo aspecto físico desgastado pelo sol, referenciada pela caricatura histórica do "Jeca-tatu" e que não dá conta da real identidade do agricultor que hoje se apresenta no mundo moderno. Já o sindicato, enquanto órgão de representação dos agricultores e, portanto, um mediador no processo de aposentadoria legitima essas imagens. Para nós, abordar as imagens dos idosos agricultores permitiu concluir que estas fomentam um campo conflituoso acerca de saber quem é o idoso agricultor para a política pública de previdência em um cenário moderno. / The intent of this dissertation is to be informed about the images concerning the aged agriculturist that are formed in the field of public policies. In order to apprehend these images, the work have as main focus the process of concession of the old age pension whích goes through the social welfare and the union of rural workers in the city of Lagoa Seca. We focus the images as a category of analysis, and to situate the subject of the images of the aged agriculturist, we favored the discussion about modernity, because of the fact that high intensity modernization have been invading ali the áreas of social life, mcluding the area of rights and public policy. It is evidenced that the web of relations shapes the policy of social welfare, and signifies, legitimates and elaborates different images of the old aged in general and of the aged agriculturist in particular. These new images, created in the context of modernity intensify and implant changes within the rationality, which penetrates the concession of social welfare benefits to the old aged, at the moment to receive the old age pension. Therefore, the images were analyzed, taking into consideration the global and modern social processes, which are translated locally, making possible to visualize traces and defining characteristics of the old aged agriculturist in the area studied, trying to show the diversity of interpretations and conflicts that are manifested in the process of concession of the benefits. As a methodological resource, we privileged the oral accounts and the manifestations of how the symbolic and material element of the benefits, changes the images of the subjects, in the sense of attribute meanings and (re)signify the images of the old aged. The data were analyzed with the help of the concepts about social imaginary, modernity and public policy. We noticed that the INSS, as an institution to concede benefits elaborates images of the old aged agriculturist by the exclusive working activity at the land, by the wasted physical aspect, with the reference of the historical caricature of the "Jeca Tatu" (name and symbol of the simple Brazilian countryman), and it doesn't concerns the real identity of the agriculturist, that presents today in the modern world. As for the union, as an agency that represents the agriculturist and, therefore, mediates the process of retirement, legitimates these images. For us, to approach the images of the old aged agriculturist, it aílowed to conclude that these images create a field of conflicts that concerns who is the old aged agriculturist for the social welfare public policy in a modern scenario.
