Notes

  1. 1.

    But not always, because in some cases intra-family relations and the management of activities and incomes may result in the subordination of the collective to the service and the exclusive welfare of one of the members, the head of the farm who is also the head of the family.

  2. 2.

    Refer, in particular, to Part 2 which deals with the migratory phenomena.
