abstract: 'Farm households diversify their income sources into off-farm wage
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employment motivated by low farm income and availability of surplus
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
family labor, whereas they enter into off-farm self employment to earn
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
an attractive return. Farm households have upward-sloping, although
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
inelastic, off-farm labor supply curves. Therefore, increasing the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
availability of off-farm activities and improving the wage rate received
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
by farm households can expand the economic activity of the Tigray
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Regional State. Due to entry barriers, relatively wealthy farm
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
households may dominate the most lucrative rural non-farm activities
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
such as masonry, carpentry and petty trade. Hence the underlying factors
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
that hinder participation in non-farm activities such as credit
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
constraints and lack of skill may have to be addressed through the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
provision of credit and technical training for the poor. (C) 2001
