Abstract		The number of aged peasants who need various forms of social care has increased rapidly along the process of demographic ageing. The care for the aged peasants is in most cases left to the traditional intergenerational solidarty within the individual household on the farm. When aged peasants are left to themselves on their farms, unable to take care of themselves, general social institutions and in some cases social asylums take them in. In the period between 1980-1992, among 9.704 persons institutionalised in general social institutions 8,5 percent were peasants by profession, while in special social asylums, the share was 7,1 percent of 992. The number of persons instituionalised in the general social institutions is rapidly growing, and among all the peasants, there are more women (56 percent). However, the number of persons instituionalized in special social asylums remains fairly constant; among all the peasants, men are more numerous (62percent).
