The analyses are based on the first Living Conditions Survey of 7,186 households covering the whole country and representative at the regional level. The findings suggest that four key determinants of employment and productivity in nonfarm activities are education, gender, location, and migration status. This is emphasized when nonfarm activities are divided into low-return and high-return activities. The wage and producer income analyses reveal that education is key to earning higher wages and incomes. Moreover, producer incomes increase with farm size, land title, and access to tools, electricity, roads, irrigation, and other farm inputs.CC BY 3.0 IGOABSOLUTE POVERTYACCESS TO CREDITACCESS TO CREDITSACCESS TO EMPLOYMENTACCESS TO INFRASTRUCTUREACCESS TO INFRASTRUCTURE SERVICESACCESS TO IRRIGATIONAGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENTAGRICULTURAL ECONOMICSAGRICULTURAL OUTPUTAGRICULTURAL SECTORAGRICULTURAL WAGEAGRICULTURAL WAGE LABORANNUAL EARNINGSANNUAL INCOMESANNUAL WAGEAVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNBASIC INFRASTRUCTUREBENEFICIARYBENEFICIARY GROUPSCALCULATIONSCLEAN DRINKING WATERCOLLATERALCOMMERCIAL AGRICULTURECONSUMERCONSUMER PRICE INDEXCONTRIBUTIONCROPSDECOMPOSABLE POVERTYDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPMENT BANKDISCRIMINATIONDIVERSIFICATIONDROUGHTEARNINGSECONOMIC CHANGESECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC INTEGRATIONECONOMICSEDUCATED INDIVIDUALSEDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENTEMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIESEXTENSIONEXTREME POVERTYEXTREME POVERTY LINEFAMILY INCOMEFAMILY SIZEFAMINEFARM ACTIVITIESFARM EMPLOYMENTFARM INCOMEFARM INCOMESFARM PRODUCTIONFARM PRODUCTIVITYFARM SECTORFARM SIZEFARM TECHNOLOGYFARM-WORKERSFARMERFARMERSFARMING ACTIVITIESFEMALE PARTICIPATIONFEMALE WORKERSFERTILITYFERTILIZERSFINANCIAL MARKETSFISHFOOD SECURITYFORMAL EDUCATIONGENDERGENDER DIFFERENCESGENDER GAPHEALTH CAREHIGH SCHOOL EDUCATIONHOUSEHOLD HEADHOUSEHOLD HEADSHOUSEHOLD INCOMEHOUSEHOLD SIZEHOUSEHOLD SURVEYHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN CAPITAL ENDOWMENTSINCOMEINCOME DISTRIBUTIONINCOME GENERATIONINCOME GROWTHINCOME INCREASESINCOME LEVELINCOME POVERTYINCOME SOURCESINCREASE IN INCOMEINEQUALITIES BETWEEN MENINEQUALITYINFANTINFANT MORTALITYINFORMED DECISIONSINSTITUTIONAL CAPACITYIRRIGATIONKIND OF INVESTMENTLABOR FORCELABOR MARKETLABOR MARKETSLAND DISTRIBUTIONLAND HOLDINGSLAND OWNERSHIPLAND REFORMLAND TENURELATIN AMERICANLESS EDUCATED PEERSLEVEL OF EDUCATIONLEVELS OF EDUCATIONLIFE EXPECTANCYLITERACYLIVESTOCKLIVING CONDITIONSLOW WAGESMALNUTRITIONMARKETINGMEATMIGRANTMIGRANTSMIGRATIONMILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALSMODERNIZATIONNEW TECHNOLOGIESNUTRITIONOLDER WORKERSPEACEPESTICIDESPILOT PROJECTSPOLICE FORCEPOLICY MAKERSPOLICY RESEARCHPOLICY RESEARCH WORKING PAPERPOLITICAL INSTABILITYPOORPOOR FAMILIESPOOR FARMERSPOOR PEOPLEPOOR RURAL HOUSEHOLDSPOPULATION DATAPOVERTY ALLEVIATION STRATEGYPOVERTY ANALYSISPOVERTY GAPPOVERTY LINESPOVERTY MEASURESPOVERTY PROFILEPOVERTY REDUCTIONPOVERTY SITUATIONPRIMARY EDUCATIONPRIMARY SCHOOLPRIVATE SECTORPROBABILITIESPROBABILITYPRODUCTION FUNCTIONPRODUCTION PROCESSPRODUCTION TECHNOLOGYPROGRESSPUBLIC GOODSPUBLIC SERVICESQUESTIONNAIRERATES OF RETURNREGRESSION ANALYSISRESEARCH ASSISTANCERISK FACTORSRURALRURAL AREARURAL AREASRURAL DEVELOPMENTRURAL ECONOMYRURAL FEMALERURAL LABORRURAL LIVELIHOODSRURAL PEOPLERURAL POPULATIONRURAL POPULATION GROWTHRURAL POVERTYRURAL POVERTY ALLEVIATIONRURAL TOWNSRURAL WORKERSSAFETY NETSSALESSCHOOLINGSCIENTISTSSECONDARY EDUCATIONSECONDARY SCHOOLSKILL LEVELSKILLED WORKERSSMALL FARMERSSMALL FARMSSOCIAL CAPITALSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL POLICIESSOCIAL WELFARESOIL EROSIONSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTTECHNICAL ASSISTANCETERTIARY EDUCATIONTRANSFER PROGRAMSTRANSPORTATIONUNEMPLOYMENTURBAN AREASURBAN CENTERSURBAN MIGRATIONURBAN POVERTYVEGETABLESVULNERABLE SEGMENTSWAGE DISPARITIESWAGE EMPLOYMENTWORKER PRODUCTIVITYWORKFORCEWORKING POPULATIONWORTHYOUNG CHILDRENWorld Bank10.1596/1813-9450-4574
