This paper examines the changes of the Agricultural population, the farm–size structure in the period 1971-1981 and the consequences in the Regional Economic Development (RED) in GREECE. The following variables are analyzed as follows. Changes in farm–size inequality x1 (Gini Coeffient), changes in population density x2 (persons per squared agricultural cultivated area), changesin average farm size (x3) etc. It examines the changes of the above mentioned variables in every province and the consequences in the RED in GREECE. The method used here is based on the principal Component Analysis (P.C.A.), with the Statistical Package Social Program (SPSS) among the rates of change recorded in a number of indicators. The results proved that the regions and province which have better structure, higher public and private investment, dynamic cultivation (cotton, fruit, vegetables), have better economic development than the regions and province which are in the disadvantaged place (frontier, mountains, island). According to the results of a forecast made for the decade 1991-2000.
