dc.description.abstract | The agricultural sector in the Philippinescontinues to play an importantrole in the economy
despite its limited capacityto absorb the existing rural labor force. This has led to the creation of
a strong demand for nonfarm employment in the rural labor market, making the rural nonfarm
sector a vital component of the rural economy. The growing interest in rural nonfarm activities
stemmed from recent findings on the significant role of rural nonfarm enterprises in employment
andincome generation,and in thedevelopment process of developing countries.
This paper attempts to bring together and review studies concerning farm and nonfarm
linkages, inter-sectoral linkages, and the rural labor markets. The next section focuses on
existing studies analyzing the relationship between farm and nonfarm activities, the nature,
structure and composition of nonfarm activities, and the linkages of rural nonfarm activities with
the other sectors of the economy. Most of these studies explain how the rural nonfarm sector is
related to the rest of the economy and howit is likely to react to changes elsewhere in the system.
A survey of existing literature on labor demand, supply, and the labor market is presented.
Finally, on the basis of thesurvey, research gaps on the area havebeen identified. | en_GB |
