This document summarizes a study on occupational mobility among farmers in Ariyalur District, Tamil Nadu, India. The study found that 11 factors were driving farmers to shift from agriculture to non-agricultural occupations. The top four factors were low income from agriculture, struggles marketing agricultural commodities, lack of water resources, and a desire for higher social status. The study also found correlations between low/unstable income and factors like poor soil fertility, variable monsoons, lack of timely inputs, and small landholdings. To reduce this occupational shift, the study recommends improving technologies for soil/water management, integrated farming systems, reclaiming degraded lands, improved extension services, and other measures to boost agricultural incomes and

Migration and Agricultural Production: Analysis of Farming Communities of Lam...BRNSS Publication Hub
123 household from Madhya Nepal Municipality of Lamjung District was selected to study socioeconomic
trend of the remittance-receiving households and the effect of international labor migration in agricultural
activities management. Purposive snowball sampling technique and semi-structured questionnaires were
used. The study showed that majority of household heads were male (61%) and female (39%), were
involved in agriculture occupation. Migration is the major source of income followed by agriculture.
The main destination of migrant was gulf country, i.e., 81% followed by India (16%) and 3% were in
developed countries such as the UK and the USA. Major affected factor by migration was found to
be agriculture labor shortage (32%). Correlation showed that there is negative and significant relation
between migration and labor used (−0.216*) and change in cropping pattern (−0.275**). It implies that
migration leads to labor shortage which leads to change in cropping pattern.

“Problems of Rural Farmer: A Case Study Based on the Lowphulabori Village und...iosrjce
Rural farmers account for the greater part of the population of any developing country such as India.
Government of the developing countries have major responsibility for ensuring that there is adequate rural
development in their various communities and local governments which would lead to effective and efficient
agricultural system, that will not only supply food and animal protein but also foster the utilization of natural
resources in a sustainable manner. When the rural farmers lack access to knowledge and information that
would help them achieve maximum agricultural yield, they will not only grope in the dark but will be driven to
the urban centers in search of formal employment.
In Assam over 70 percent of the state’s population relies on agriculture as farmers, as agricultural labours or
both for their livelihood. In terms of the state domestic product (SDP), the agriculture sector contributed over
19 per cent of the state income in 2010-11. We all know that majority of the people of Assam live in villages as
farmer. Therefore, it is necessary to find out the problems of rural farmers and to solve their problems, like
poverty, lack of knowledge about modern technology, illiteracy, lack of knowledge about market demandable
agricultural commodities, irrigation system, flood, drought etc. The present study attempts to investigate the
problems of rural farmers of the study area. For this both primary and secondary data have been used. Thirty

In the current study, we have analyzed the contribution of agricultural sub-sectors growth rate to
the agriculture GDP growth rate of Pakistan by using secondary data from 2001 to 2015. Ordinary Least
Square (OLS) method was applied to estimate the model parameter. For this purpose the study considered a
dependent variable of agriculture GDP growth rate and several independents variables include major, minor
crops, livestock, fishery and forestry. The regression analysis of the data showed a positive and significant
contribution in agriculture GDP growth rate. However, fishery and forestry sub-sectors contribute growth rates
were considered poor as compared with other sub-sectors could be due to less attention paid from the
government. Our study suggests that Government of Pakistan should consider the importance of both
agricultural sub-sectors to increase there’s contribution growth rate towards agriculture GDP growth rate in
Pakistan.

Women labour participation of agricultural production in sindh pakistansanaullah noonari
This study was conducted to investigate the economics analysis of women labour participation in agricultural
production in Mirpurkhas, Sindh during 2013. The results of the study showed that that the women labourers got
maximum employment in agriculture during kharif (67 days) and rabi season (53 days). The women labourers
got 120 days of employment in agriculture in a year. The labourers got maximum number of days of
employment in weeding (64 days) followed by harvesting and post harvest operations (34 days). They received
wages in cash for all operations except harvest and post harvest operations. They worked for 7-8 hours a day.
The women labourers had maximum unemployed days in summer (120 days) as this is the off season for
agriculture in the study area. Their family consumption expenditure, their savings and debt position is presented
the average debit amount was Rs.3100.00 in kharif . It increased in Rabi Rs. 4700.00. The impact of seasonal

Study on Income Effect of Nutrient Intake Structure of Migrant Workers: The C...Dr. Amarjeet Singh
This paper empirically analyzes the income effect of the nutrient intake structure of migrant workers based on the 2014 survey data on the employment and food demand of urban migrant workers in China. The results showed that after controlling for factors such as labor intensity, height and weight, the monthly average income significantly increased the calorie intake of migrant workers, and the income elasticity was 0.052. From the perspective of nutrient intake structure, the average monthly income had no significant effect on the carbohydrate intake of migrant workers, but significantly increased the fat and protein intake of migrant workers, and the income elasticity was 0.222 and 0.075, respectively. Nutrition has not linear relationship between demand and income. The effect of average income on caloric intake of migrant workers in low income group, middle income group and high income group decreases with the increase of income group, until it has no significant effect on high income group, and heat demand income elasticity of low-income as well as middle-income group of migrant workers was 0.182 and 0.092, respectively.

Value Chain Analysis of Large Cardamom in Taplejung District of NepalIEREK Press
This study assessed the value chain analysis of large cardamom (Amomum subulatum Roxb) in Taplejung district, Nepal and explored the functional linkage and upgrading strategies among the key value chain actors. One hundred and sixty farmers weresurveyed purposely along with 5 local and district level traders, 5 regional level traders and exporters and 5 enablers who were sampled using rapid market appraisal in March 2018. The study presents a comparative analysis among large holders (n=72) and smallholders (n=88) large cardamom farmersusing SPSS and MS-Excel. The majority of farmers used suckers as propagating materials which was a major source of disease conduction. 62.5% of farmers adopted traditional dryers for curing, which reduced the quality of large cardamom whereas about 30% of them used improved dryers for curing that enhanced quality. The majority of farmers had not adopted value addition practices like tail cutting, grading and packaging which were carried out at trader level. Large cardamom prices were normally determined by the export market of India. The average land area of large cardamom per household was 21.56 ropani with 36.74 ropani for the large landholder farmers and 9.14 ropani for the smallholders. The key problems faced by farmers and traders were high price swing, lack of disease-free propagating materials, reliance on the Indian market, aged orchards, shrinking productivity, and minimal collaboration among the chain actors. Therefore, adoption of Good Management Practices (GMPs)-upgraded bhattis, transfer of tail cutting technology and storage management, along with value addition activities like grading (color and size), tail cutting and packaging need to be adopted with strong adherence to export quality. This study revealed that necessary action needs to be taken to maintain a high level of collaboration among the value chain actors thereby increasing the value chain efficiency of Nepalese large cardamom

As a result, it can be concluded that sesame farming is profitable in the context of agricultural restructuring strategy from rice to other crops in Mekong Delta region. It is recommended that smallholders should take initiative in participation in sesame cooperatives and ‘big field’ model to be more beneficial to inputs price, harvested machine and formal credit in the beginning of each season.
Women labour participation of agricultural production in sindh pakistansanaullah noonari
This study was conducted to investigate the economics analysis of women labour participation in agricultural
production in Mirpurkhas, Sindh during 2013. The results of the study showed that that the women labourers got
maximum employment in agriculture during kharif (67 days) and rabi season (53 days). The women labourers
got 120 days of employment in agriculture in a year. The labourers got maximum number of days of
employment in weeding (64 days) followed by harvesting and post harvest operations (34 days). They received
wages in cash for all operations except harvest and post harvest operations. They worked for 7-8 hours a day.
The women labourers had maximum unemployed days in summer (120 days) as this is the off season for
agriculture in the study area. Their family consumption expenditure, their savings and debt position is presented
the average debit amount was Rs.3100.00 in kharif . It increased in Rabi Rs. 4700.00. The impact of seasonal
woman unemployment in agriculture on the income of the labourers, their family consumption expenditure, their
savings and debt position .That the during kharif season the labourers got on an average Rs. 19700.00 as income.
But during rabi they received only Rs. 18000.00 as income from wage earnings in agriculture .The expenditure
on food item was on an average Rs. 10300.00during kharif . It reduced by 13.94 per cent during rabi 8300.00.
The expenditure on non-food items also decreased from Rs. 7500.00 to Rs. 62000.00. The change was
Rs.1300.The lack of employment opportunities in agriculture during off season compelled the women labourers
to seek alternative employment sources like activities, construction works, tile making etc. The seasonal woman
unemployment in agriculture has caused a severe impact on the income of labourers, family expenditure, their
savings and debt position.

Study on Income Effect of Nutrient Intake Structure of Migrant Workers: The C...Dr. Amarjeet Singh
This paper empirically analyzes the income effect of the nutrient intake structure of migrant workers based on the 2014 survey data on the employment and food demand of urban migrant workers in China. The results showed that after controlling for factors such as labor intensity, height and weight, the monthly average income significantly increased the calorie intake of migrant workers, and the income elasticity was 0.052. From the perspective of nutrient intake structure, the average monthly income had no significant effect on the carbohydrate intake of migrant workers, but significantly increased the fat and protein intake of migrant workers, and the income elasticity was 0.222 and 0.075, respectively. Nutrition has not linear relationship between demand and income. The effect of average income on caloric intake of migrant workers in low income group, middle income group and high income group decreases with the increase of income group, until it has no significant effect on high income group, and heat demand income elasticity of low-income as well as middle-income group of migrant workers was 0.182 and 0.092, respectively.

Value Chain Analysis of Large Cardamom in Taplejung District of NepalIEREK Press
This study assessed the value chain analysis of large cardamom (Amomum subulatum Roxb) in Taplejung district, Nepal and explored the functional linkage and upgrading strategies among the key value chain actors. One hundred and sixty farmers weresurveyed purposely along with 5 local and district level traders, 5 regional level traders and exporters and 5 enablers who were sampled using rapid market appraisal in March 2018. The study presents a comparative analysis among large holders (n=72) and smallholders (n=88) large cardamom farmersusing SPSS and MS-Excel. The majority of farmers used suckers as propagating materials which was a major source of disease conduction. 62.5% of farmers adopted traditional dryers for curing, which reduced the quality of large cardamom whereas about 30% of them used improved dryers for curing that enhanced quality. The majority of farmers had not adopted value addition practices like tail cutting, grading and packaging which were carried out at trader level. Large cardamom prices were normally determined by the export market of India. The average land area of large cardamom per household was 21.56 ropani with 36.74 ropani for the large landholder farmers and 9.14 ropani for the smallholders. The key problems faced by farmers and traders were high price swing, lack of disease-free propagating materials, reliance on the Indian market, aged orchards, shrinking productivity, and minimal collaboration among the chain actors. Therefore, adoption of Good Management Practices (GMPs)-upgraded bhattis, transfer of tail cutting technology and storage management, along with value addition activities like grading (color and size), tail cutting and packaging need to be adopted with strong adherence to export quality. This study revealed that necessary action needs to be taken to maintain a high level of collaboration among the value chain actors thereby increasing the value chain efficiency of Nepalese large cardamom

I. INTRODUCTION
Chau Thanh A District is located in the north of Hau Giang Province, where many advantages for
developing agricultural economy are gathered. Most of Chau Thanh A District's land is used for agricultural
production purposes. By the end of 2017, the total agricultural land area is about 13,878 ha, accounting for
86.42% of the natural land area. In recent years, the local government has been focusing on developing the
agricultural economy together with job creation and human resource development. However, due to subjective
and objective conditions, the efficiency of rural labor use is still low which leads to local human resource
waste. Therefore, the study "Evaluating the efficiency of rural labor use in Chau Thanh A District, Hau Giang
Province" is essential to provide a scientific foundation and practical basis for the local government to build
rational human resource development strategies.
II. LITERATURE SURVEY
Human resource is one of the most important factors for the development of every country. The quality of
human resource is a primary measurement to review countries’ development. Therefore, countries around the
world consider human resource development is essential (Nguyen Thi Quynh Trang, 2017). The workforce is the
decisive factor for the success and progress of each country, in which the level of human resource development is
the key measurement for the level of social progress, justice and sustainable development (Dang Xuan Hoan,
2015). Vietnam’s economic development process has affirmed that when rural labor is used reasonably and
effectively, agricultural and rural areas will develop quickly and sustainably. The efficient use of labor helps
increase labor productivity, save costs, time, effort, and improve production efficiency. Therefore, human resource
needs to be expanded and developed, especially effectively managed.
III. METHODS
3.1 Data collection method
The stratified sampling method is applied in this study. Currently, according to many researchers,
samples with large size are better than small size (Nguyen Dinh Tho, 2011). The personal interview method
was applied for 160 households in 5 communes of Chau Thanh A District, Hau Giang Province which are Tan
Phu Thanh, Thanh Xuan, Nhon Nghia A, Truong Long A, and Truong Long Tay. Sample sizes are shown in
Table 1.
ABSTRACT: The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficiency of rural labor use in Chau Thanh A
District, Hau Giang Province. The data were collected from 160 households in rural areas. The descriptive
statistics are used to analyze the situation, actual use and effective use of agricultural labor resources.
Research has shown that the rural labor workforce in Chau Thanh A District is quite abundant; however, their
educational backgrounds and professional qualifications are poor. The efficiency of rural labor use is still
inadequate, and labor potentials are not fully exploited to create material values.
Key Words: efficiency, labor, agriculture sector, non-agriculture sector.

3.2 Data analysis methods
This study used descriptive statistic with indicators such as average, max, min, standard deviation,
frequency, ratio to analyze the situation, actual use and effective use of rural labor resource in Chau Thanh A
District, Hau Giang Province.
IV. RESULTS
4.1 Current situation of rural labor source in Chau Thanh A District
The data in Table 2 shows that each household in Chau Thanh A District’s rural area has 5 members on
average, in which 3 members are in working age.
Table 2: Household labor scale in rural areas

The number of male workers per household is higher than female workers per household, corresponding
to 1.71 compared with 1.05. The ratio of the member in working age in each household is 0.61. This shows that
the ratio of dependents in each household is quite high (approximately 39%).

International Journal of Business Marketing and Management (IJBMM) Page 10
According to Figure 1, the number of rural workers with secondary level is the highest (38.02%),
followed by high school level (37.51%). The proportion of agricultural worker with primary level accounts for
22.2% and illiteracy accounts for 2.27%. The majority of low educational level workers are older workers or
those with low income who are unable to attend school. With the above data, rural worker’s educational level in
Chau Thanh A District is quite low, which has a specific effect on general labor quality.

Source: Survey data, 2018
Table 3 shows that there are 19.28% of agricultural workers that are professionally trained, of which the
proportion of worker with a university degree is the highest (12.04%), college level is 4.48%, and intermediate
level is only 2.66%. The number of worker working in proper professional fields accounts for 76%. The
majority of qualified worker work in administrative agencies, such as civil servants, teachers, doctors. A small
percentage of them work in local private enterprises. The data points out that the employment rate in non-
government agencies is low. Thus, rural workers do not have various career choices.

Source: Survey data, 2018
Table 4 indicates that the proportion of worker with good, average and poor health condition is 79.78%,
16.25%, and 3.97% accordingly. Most of the rural workers in the poor health group are between the age of 50
and 60. Rural areas need manual workers. This leads to worker's health exhaustion, low ability to regenerate
health, and poor health condition. Another result shows that the proportion of worker participating in health
insurance is quite high, accounting for 84.11%. This is a positive signal, and workers need to concern about
health insurance to protect the health and improve labor quality.
4.2 The efficiency of rural labor use in Chau Thanh A District
According to the survey result in Figure 2, the proportion of rural workers whose average working time
less than 7 hours per day accounts for the highest (60%). The average working time of Chau Thanh A District's
worker is 6.4 hours per day and 22.4 days per month, while a worker's working time can reach 8 hours per day
and 24 days per month typically. Thus, rural workers in Chau Thanh A District have not used the Working time
to create material values effectively. The least working time per day is 3 hours while the most are 12 hours, and
the least working time in one month is 10 days while the most are 30 days.

Figure 2: Rural worker’s average working time by labor area
Source: Survey data, 2018
The average working time of rural workers working in the agriculture sector is 5.2 hours per day and
19.5 days per month. The majority of working time is used for planting, tending, harvesting rice and fruit-tree,
or raising the pig, chicken, and duck. Meanwhile, the average working time of those working in the non-
agriculture sector is 8.2 hours per day and 26.2 days per month. This is the working time with high intensity
which significantly affects the ability to regenerate labor power.
According to Figure 3, in the non-agriculture sector, the average working time of rural workers working at
home (8.7 hours per day and 27.1 days per month) is more than those working outside (7.8 hours per day and 24.2
days per month). Rural workers who work at home are mainly engaged in selling food and beverage, garments,
goods, etc. These jobs do not require good health, professional qualifications or working time regulations so
workers can do anytime during the day and any day of the month. Therefore, the working time per day and month
is high in total. Meanwhile, for workers working outside, most of them work in administrative agencies or private
enterprises. Their working time is about 8 hours per day and 24 days per month.
Figure 3: Rural worker’s working time in the non-agriculture sector by workplace
Source: Survey data, 2018
The statistics in Table 5 show that rural workers that have a job in the agriculture sector have a very low
working time rate, only 46.75%. Although they have a significant amount of remaining time, only a small
number of them use this time to work part-time to boost their income. Workers in the non-agriculture sector
have a working time utilization rate of 110.58%, much higher compared to agricultural laborers. In particular,
rural workers working outside the household have a working time utilization rate of 96.89% compared to
laborer working in their households who have the percentage of working time utilization of up to 124.23%. In
general, only rural laborers working in the non-agriculture field outside their households have a reasonable
working time utilization rate. Other groups need to adjust their working time utilization rate properly to
increase the quality of labor.

Table 6 shows that the average labor productivity of workers in Chau Thanh A district is 31,980
(Vietnam dong - VND per hour). Compared to the minimum income of laborers in Chau Thanh A districts as
required by law which is 3,090.000 (VND/ month), the average labor productivity of the respondents is fairly
good. However, with a standard deviation (SD) of 17.52, this indicates that workforce productivity is not
uniform and highly dispersed. The workers that have the lowest productivity earns 5,000 (VND/hour) while the
one with the highest productivity can produce up to 92,000 (VND/hour).

Outside their households 7.69 227.29 30.83 25.13
Source: Survey data, 2018
As can be seen from Table 6, there is a considerable difference in workforce productivity by labor
sectors. Labor productivity created in the agriculture field is 49.15 thousand VND/ hour, much higher in
comparison with labor productivity generated in the non-agriculture field – which is 27.15 thousand VND/hour.
The main reason is that the working time utilization rate in the agricultural field is much lower in comparison
with the non-agriculture field. In the non-agricultural area, laborers working in their households have the
productivity of 23,24 thousand VND/hour, lower than the productivity of laborers working outside their homes
with a variance of 7.5 thousand VND/ hour
4.3 Labor use efficiency
According to the survey statistics, although the labor productivity of workers in Chau Thanh A district is
quite good, their waste in using working time is considerable.
As can be seen from Figure 4, workers in Chau Thanh A district have an average labor productivity of
31.98 thousand VND/ hour. Nevertheless, they waste almost 20% of the time that is available for work.
Therefore, there is a possibility that they can boost their income as long as they rationally make the best use of
their working time. On the one hand, laborers working in the non-agriculture sector have the labor productivity
of 27.15 thousand VND/ hour, 45% lower in comparison with productivity in the agriculture sector; on the other
hand, they have 58% higher working time utilization. It suggests that rural workers in both fields: the agriculture
and non-agriculture fields should consider the labor quality in 2 aspects: working time and labor productivity.

The statistics in Figure 5 demonstrate that rural laborers that work in the non-agricultural field for their
households are lower in efficiency than the ones working outside their homes – results in labor productivity:
23.24 thousand VND/ hour and 30.83 thousand VND/ hour respectively. Moreover, the rural laborers working
outside their homes hardly waste their time and use their available working time appropriately, at 97% working
time utilization rate. As a result, the monthly income that the rural laborers working outside of their family earn
is higher than the ones working for their households.
Figure 5: Labor productivity and Working time utilization rate of workers in the non-agriculture sector by
working place

Rural workers in agriculture field have high labor productivity per hour; however, their working time
waste is considerably huge; hence their monthly income is quite low compared to workers in the non-
agricultural field. According to statistics in table 7, the monthly income of laborers in the non-agriculture field is
5.15 million VND. Specifically, monthly earning of laborers working in their house is 4.33 million VND, and
for laborers working outside their houses, it is 5.31 million VND. Meanwhile, workers in agriculture field only
make 4,12 million VND monthly.

Statistics suggest that workers in Chau Thanh A rural district waste a great deal of their time, notably
13% of female workers only engaging in household chores (average time for housework is 5 hours/ day).
Main reasons for wasting working time, resulting in reducing labor use efficiency, are: 30.82% laborers do
not know how to manage their working time; 28.08% laborers lack knowledge and technical qualification;
32.88% laborers do not have sufficient capital goods such as land, capital, labor tools, etc. Also, there are
8.22% of the workers that do not show the determination and ambition in working to increase their income
and improve their quality of life.
As shown in Figure 6, 85% of the workers use their leisure time for relaxation and entertainment.
Specifically, 36% of the workers relax and play with their child or grandchild, 31% watch television and listen
to the radio, 13% visit their neighbours, relatives, and friends and 5% use the internet, read books or newspaper.
However, the workers use the rest 15% of their leisure time to go fishing or growing vegetable to increase the
food supply for their families.

V. CONCLUSION
In general, the workforce in Chau Thanh A district is quite abundant. However, the proportion of
dependents in households is quite high, causing considerable pressure on the economic conditions of rural
families. The level of education and professional qualifications of workers are limited, especially the rate of
unskilled labor which makes up the large proportion of the workforce. This dramatically affects the labor
quality. Besides, the practice of using the labor force effectively in Chau Thanh A district has numerous
shortcomings – the laborers have not fully exploited their labor potential to create material values. One the one
hand, the labor productivity per hour of workers in agriculture area is higher than workers in the non-agriculture
area; on the other hand, the labor utilization rate of the non-agriculture field is much higher in comparison with
agriculture field. Consequently, the monthly income of workers in the non-agriculture field is much higher
compared to agricultural workers in Chau Thanh A.
From these findings, the research team proposes some recommendations to increase the labor use
efficiency of rural workers in Chau Thanh A district:
8. Evaluating the Efficiency of Rural Labor Use in Chau Thanh A District, Hau Giang Province
International Journal of Business Marketing and Management (IJBMM) Page 15
Firstly, the increase in labor quality. Workers need to enthusiastically study, improve their level of
education and qualifications, especially professional skills that local areas require. At the same time, they should
also consider the matter of labor regeneration, health protection by proper relaxation, buying health insurance,
work accident insurance and other kinds of coverage that is necessary for their careers.
Secondly, effectively use family labor resources. The division of labor in the family should consider
factors such as the nature of work, working time and professional qualifications. If the division of labor in the
family is reasonable, it will contribute to improving the labor use efficiency thus improving income for the
household.
Thirdly, uplift their work spirit and attitude. Workers should have a standard and serious work attitude,
enthusiastic work spirit as well as actively learn new knowledge, promote the value of work, make the best use
of their leisure time to work to create material values and to improve their future career development.
