abstract: 'Individuals living in farm households who commute to wage employment
make up an important portion of Japan''s `''nonfarm'''' workers. This study
examines their growing numbers and the regional and sectoral trends in
their off-farm jobs, to argue that farms have been more involved in
recent macroeconomic growth than is commonly acknowledged. In the 20
years between 1965 and 1985, individuals living on farms filled new
manufacturing jobs in the regions outside the Tokaido, urban-industrial
belt. State subsidies for farm families'' agricultural production have
been generous, but have paid mainly for farm mechanization, which in
turn has allowed and required farm residents to seek off-farm income.
Regional policy has directed industrial plants to locate in farming
regions, both to provide jobs to farmers and to provide workers to
industries. To the extent that farm subsidies have partly supported
rural households while enabling members to accept low-wage jobs in
machinery manufacturing, farm subsidies have provided labor-cost
advantages to the leading firms and industries in this period of
restructuring. When farm households are viewed in this larger context of
their off-farm employment, they have not fallen outside the loop of
national economic growth in recent years, but have remained integral to
that growth.'
