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
