abstract: 'Rural households in Cambodia derive income from various sources. On
|
|
|
|
average, non-farm income accounts for more than 60 per cent of total
|
|
|
|
household income. However, the average masks the substantial
|
|
|
|
heterogeneity of non-farm employment. We account for this heterogeneity
|
|
|
|
and find significant differences in non-farm participation and incomes
|
|
|
|
across segments of the income distribution. The poor and the less
|
|
|
|
well-educated participate less in the non-farm sector, and when they do
|
|
|
|
work in the non-farm sector, they work in low-paid jobs and earn lower
|
|
|
|
incomes. Accounting for endogeneity and sample selection issues, we
|
|
|
|
conduct an empirical enquiry of the determinants of participation in
|
|
|
|
non-farm activities and of non-farm incomes. As expected, we find that
|
|
|
|
education plays a major role in accessing more remunerative non-farm
|
|
|
|
employment. Interestingly, we do not find evidence that women, ethnic
|
|
|
|
minorities, or the land-poor are disadvantaged in access to the non-farm
|
|
|
|
sector. Geographical location plays a role in access to and income from
|
|
|
|
non-farm employment, indicating the importance of local context.'
