abstract: 'Rural households in developing countries often depend on agriculture for
|
||||
|
||||
their livelihoods. However, many also pursue off-farm economic
|
||||
|
||||
activities either to complement their farm income or because they lack
|
||||
|
||||
access to agricultural land. Rural off-farm employment is often informal
|
||||
|
||||
and temporary. Searching for jobs can be associated with high
|
||||
|
||||
transaction costs, which may be a constraint on some households''
|
||||
|
||||
participation in off-farm employment. The increasing spread of mobile
|
||||
|
||||
phones may help to reduce these transaction costs. Here, we test the
|
||||
|
||||
hypothesis that mobile phone ownership increases rural households''
|
||||
|
||||
participation in off-farm employment and-through this mechanism-also
|
||||
|
||||
improves household income. We use nationally representative panel data
|
||||
|
||||
from rural India and regression models with household fixed effects to
|
||||
|
||||
control for confounding factors and unobserved heterogeneity. We find
|
||||
|
||||
that mobile phone ownership is positively associated with the likelihood
|
||||
|
||||
of participating in various types of off-farm employment, including
|
||||
|
||||
casual wage labour, salaried employment and non-agricultural
|
||||
|
||||
self-employment. This association is larger in female-headed than in
|
||||
|
||||
male-headed households. The estimates also show that mobile phone
|
||||
|
||||
ownership is positively associated with household income, partly
|
||||
|
||||
channelled through the off-farm employment mechanism.'
