Semakin terbatasnya lahan pertanian dan berkembangnya teknologi pertanian, mengakibatkan penurunan kesempatan kerja perempuan disektor pertanian di daerah pedesaan. Oleh karena itu muncul berbagai alternatif pekerjaan yang ditekuni perempuan di pedesaan. Bidang pekerjaan yang dipilih perempuan desa umumnya sebagai buruh, salah satunya adalah buruh pemecah batu. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kehidupan sosial dan ekonomi perempuan pemecah batu, mengetahui pembagian waktu perempuan sebagai ibu rumah tangga dan sebagai pemecah batu dan mengetahui relasi antara pekerjaan menjadi pemecah batu dengan pola pengambilan keputusan dalam rumah tangga para perempuan pemecah batu. Metode yang digunakan adalah pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif dan dilakukan  pada para perempuan pemecah batu di Desa Kebondalem Kecamatan Gringsing Kabupaten Batang. Pengumpulan data menggunakan teknik wawancara mendalam dan observasi partisipasi terbatas. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa para perempuan mendapat keuntungan dengan bekerja sebagai pemecah batu dan dengan pekerjaan ini mereka dapat memperluas hubungan sosial dengan masyarakat luas. Akan tetapi kehidupan ekonomi para perempuan pemecah batu tidak mengalami perubahan karena pendapatan yang diperoleh belum mampu untuk memenuhi kebutuhan hidupnya. Alokasi waktu yang dicurahkan perempuan pemecah batu lebih banyak jika dibandingkan oleh para pekerja laki – laki dalam sehari-hari. Dengan demikian perempuan pemecah batu memiliki beban yang lebih berat jika dibandingkan dengan suami.The more limited agricultural land and the development of agricultural technology results in the decrease of female employment in the agricultural sector in rural areas. This condition is characterized by the emergence of alternative jobs for rural women. Such an alternative is stone-breaking labor. The objective of this study is to examine the social and economic life of breaking stones women, the distribution of time of woman as housewives and stone-breakers, and the relation between the work as stone-breaker and the pattern of decision-making in the household of stone-breaker women. The reasearch method  used is descriptive qualitative approach and the research is conducted in the village of Batang Gringsing Kebondalem District. Data collection technique were in-depth interviews and limited participant observation. Research results show that women have been benefited by working as a stone-breaker from which they can expand social relations with wider community. However, the low income job does not change their life because the income has not been able to meet their needs. Reseach also finds that the allocation of time devoted by stone-breaker women is far beyond men’s time . Thus, stone-breaker women have a heavier burden compared to their husbands.

The economic empowerment of rural women in the recent development of agriculture through entrepreneurship is considered an important challenge. Rural women often manage complex households and pursue multiple livelihood strategies. Their activities typically include cultivation of crops, farming animals, processing and preparing food, working for wages in agricultural or other rural enterprises, collecting fuel and water, engaging in trade and marketing, caring for family members, and maintaining their homes. The research aimed to collect up-to-date data on Slovak rural women dealing with business in the field of agriculture, women's role and status in society in rural areas, on the farm, women's participation in education, training, and agricultural services. The main focus is dedicated to their share on the management of agricultural entities, land cultivation, employment of rural women and men, and their deal on the selected entrepreneurial activities of Slovak agriculture. Women doing business in agriculture dispose of with considerable knowledge and experience in the agricultural and food sectors. The realized research showed that the scale of farms managed by women is 325 hectares. Rural women in the surveyed group are taking care of about 2.5% of the total area of agricultural land in Slovakia and they are employing 2.40% of the working forces in the agricultural sector in Slovakia. According to our survey, rural women are under-represented in managerial and ownership positions of agricultural entities.

In India, the rural economy still remains crucially important in the economic wellbeing of the majority population. The low income and high poverty in rural areas are closely associated with unequal distribution of income-earning assets, particularly agricultural land and non-land capital assets. In this article, therefore, we try to understand the intergroup inequality in wealth ownership across caste, ethnic and religious groups in rural India based on the 2013 data from the All India Debt and Investment survey carried out by National Sample Survey Office. The results indicate high interpersonal wealth inequality so also the intergroup wealth inequality at the aggregate level and by type of assets in rural India. The impact of caste on the ownership of wealth clearly indicates high ownership among Hindu high caste and Hindu other backward caste at the cost of low wealth share or ownership of the SC/ST indicating the existence of graded inequality.

The paper presents the issues related to the green economy in the agricultural sector. In order to discuss it, an analysis of the subject literature was carried out and some selected statistical data describing the process of greening of agriculture were presented. The timeframe of the analysis covered the years 2010-2015. The GUS and Eurostat were the source of the used values. Studies have shown that almost all EU countries have increased the area of organic agricultural land in the surveyed period (except for Great Britain). In addition, the article presents the results of pilot studies conducted in the Lodz Region, aimed at diagnosing key barriers to the development of the green economy in rural areas. According to the research, the insufficient level of knowledge of farmers in this area is an important obstacle to building a green economy in rural areas.

Since the 2000s, agricultural land acquisition (ALA) for urbanization and industrialization has been quickly implemented in Vietnam, which has led to a huge socioeconomic transformation in rural areas. This paper applies the sustainable livelihoods framework to analyze how ALA has impacted the socioeconomic status (SES) of rural women whose agricultural land was acquired. To get primary data, we surveyed 150 affected households, conducted three group discussions and interviewed nine key informants. The research findings reveal that ALA, when applied toward urbanization, has significantly improved the occupational status of rural women by creating non-farm job opportunities that have improved their income, socioeconomic knowledge and working skills. While their SES has been noticeably enhanced, these positive impacts are still limited in cases where ALA is applied toward industrial and energy development, since these purposes do not create many new jobs. Moreover, the unclear responsibility of stakeholders and inadequate livelihood rehabilitation programs of ALA projects have obstructed the opportunities of rural women. To improve the SES of rural women, we recommend that ALA policy initiate a flexible livelihoods support plan based on the purpose of ALA and the concrete responsibilities of stakeholders and investors.

Indonesia is an agricultural country because most of the population has a livelihood in agriculture. In addition, agriculture is the second largest contributor to national economic growth and Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Rural areas have vast agricultural land, but not all communities have land so most farmers work on land owned by other people and then get a share of the results by a variety of methods. The research objective is to analyze the implementation of muẓāraʻah contract based on Law No. 2 of 1960 and Islamic law and It’s implications for the socio-economic life of the society in Cianjur. Data collection was carried out using the method of observation, interview and documentation (library) and data analysis deductively, inductively and comparatively, then presented in a qualitative descriptive manner. The population in this study was 120 people, and the study sample was 12 people (10%) who were selected by purposive sampling method. The results of the research are (1) the implementation of muẓāraʻah contract in Cianjur, West Java is not fully in accordance with Law No. 2 of 1960 and Islamic law, (2) The implications of muẓāraʻah on the economic life of farmers are the fulfillment of ḍarūriyyah needs, namely consumption and secondary education, while landowners can meet more complex needs., including fulfillment of ḍarūriyyah, can allocate part of the funds to go on pilgrimage, charity to other people in need. And (3) The Implications of muẓāraʻah contract on the social life of society is a concern between landowners and farmers that is realized by helping each other when in trouble. However, attention from the government is still needed to ensure good relations between the two parties that are cooperating.[Indonesia merupakan negara agraris karena sebagian besar penduduk mempunyai pencaharian di bidang pertanian. Selain itu, pertanian merupakan kontributor kedua terbesar terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi nasional dan Produk Domestik Bruto (PDB). Daerah pedesaan mempunyai lahan pertanian yang sangat luas, namun tidak semua masyarakat mempunyai lahan sehingga sebagian besar petani menggarap lahan milik orang lain kemudian mendapatkan bagi hasil dengan metode yang beragam. Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk menganalisis pelaksanaan konsep muẓāraʻah berdasarkan UU No. 2 Tahun 1960 dan hukum Islam dan implikasinya terhadap kehidupan social ekonomi masyarakat di Cianjur. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan metode observasi, wawancara dan dokumentasi (perpustakaan) dan analisis data secara deduktif, induktif dan komparatif, kemudian disajikan secara deskriptif kualitatif. Jumlah populasi dalam penelitian ini 120 orang, dan sampel penelitian sebanyak 12 orang (10%) yang dipilih dengan metode purposive sampling. Hasil penelitian adalah (1) pelaksanaan perjanjian bagi hasil akad muẓāraʻah di Cianjur belum sepenuhnya sesuai dengan UU No. 2 Tahun 1960 tentang perjanjian bagi hasil lahan pertanian dan hukum Islam dalam kerjasama pertanian. Hambatan dalam melaksanakan peraturan No 2 Tahun 1960 dan hukum Islam dalam kerjasama pertanian adalah tidak ada sosialisasi dari pihak manapun terkait UU No. 2 Tahun 1960 tentang perjanjian bagi hasil tanah pertanian dan hukum Islam dalam kerjasama pertanian. Adanya kebiasaan-kebiasaan yang telah berlangsung turun temurun. (2) Implikasi akad muẓāraʻah terhadap kehidupan ekonomi petani adalah pemenuhan kebutuhan ḍarūriyyah yaitu konsumsi dan pendidikan keturunanya, sedangkan pemilik lahan dapat memenuhi kebutuhan yang lebih kompleks, antaranya pemenuhan ḍarūriyyah, dapat mengalokasikan sebagian dana untuk pergi haji, bersedekah dan zakat kepada orang lain yang membutuhkan. Dan (3) Implikasi akad muẓāraʻah kehidupan sosial adalah adanya kepedulian antara pemilik lahan dan petani yang diwujudkan dengan saling membantu ketika dalam kesulitan. Namun demikian, perhatian dari pemerintah tetap diperlukan untuk menjamin hubungan baik antara kedua belah pihak yang bekerjasama.]

The agricultural sector has a multifunctional role in the development of an area. Bali Province is one of the provinces in Indonesia that uses rural areas as a gateway to the agricultural sector that supports the tourism sector. The contribution of the agricultural sector in 2017 amounted to 13.07 percent of the GRDP of the Province of Bali, number two of the 17 sectors (the sector of providing accommodation and food and drink occupy the first position, amounting to 22.82 percent. The purpose of this study was to map the growth typology of each sector in the Province of Bali, and evaluated the performance of the agricultural sector in the Province of Bali from 2013-2017. The location of the study was conducted in the Province of Bali, carried out deliberately (purposive) with the consideration that there has been a very alarming increase in the conversion of agricultural land functions in the Province of Bali. The typology used is Klassen, LQ (Location Quotient, and DLQ (Dynamic Location Quotient). The results of this study are the agriculture, forestry, and fisheries sectors in quadrant II, namely the advanced but depressed sector, as a whole is a “prospective” agricultural sector, the sector it has a basic role during 2013-2017 but this sector does not have the potential to remain a base sector because the growth rate of the agricultural sector in Bali Province is slower than the national level.

Abstract This study aims to describe the diversification of livelihoods as a strategy achieved by the rural dweller to maintain and improve their standard of living. This issue is important to be studied in order to explore various alternative ways of the fundamental problem that is passed by them. There are four problems related to socio-economic life in rural areas, namely low labor productivity, land ownership that is getting narrower along with the large number of small farmers, relatively low household income and lower wages for agricultural laborers than construction and industrial workers. As a consequence, subsistence farming has weak prospects and cannot be relied on as the only source of livelihood for the rural population. Even though agricultural sector is no longer being promoted as a source of income, some rural residents continue to pursue farming while carrying out various supporting activities to fullfill their needs. In fact, there is a tendency for them to take advantage of the opportunities that exist in order to improve their standard of living. The rural population actually has various levels in maintaining the existence of life and increasing the standard of living of their household in accordance with the unique social, economic, ecological and cultural arrangements in an area. One of them is the focus of this research, namely the diversification of household livelihoods in rural areas in the context of rural-urban relations. We hope to find a formula that can support the capability of rural residents to diversify their livelihoods in response to urban development. To realize this goal, the research team has conducted investigations on: a portfolio of livelihood activities of rural small people in the context of the struggle for survival and improvement of their standard of living and (b) diversification of livelihoods carried out by small people in the context of rural-urban relations. Abstrak Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan diversifikasi mata pencarian sebagai strategi yang dilakukan oleh penduduk pedesaan untuk mempertahankan dan meningkatkan taraf hidupnya. Isu ini penting untuk dikaji guna menggali berbagai alternatif cara dari permasalahan mendasar yang dilalui mereka. Ada empat masalah yang berkaitan dengan kehidupan sosial ekonomi di pedesaan, yaitu produktivitas tenaga kerja yang rendah, kepemilikan lahan yang semakin sempit seiring dengan banyaknya petani kecil, pendapatan rumah tangga yang relatif rendah dan upah buruh tani yang lebih rendah dibandingkan buruh bangunan dan industri. Akibatnya, pertanian subsisten memiliki prospek yang lemah dan tidak dapat diandalkan sebagai satu-satunya sumber mata pencarian penduduk pedesaan. Meskipun sektor pertanian tidak lagi digalakkan sebagai sumber pendapatan, sebagian penduduk pedesaan tetap bertani sambil melakukan berbagai kegiatan penunjang untuk memenuhi kebutuhan hidupnya. Bahkan, ada kecenderungan mereka memanfaatkan peluang yang ada untuk meningkatkan taraf hidupnya. Penduduk pedesaan sebenarnya memiliki berbagai tingkatan dalam mempertahankan eksistensi kehidupan dan meningkatkan taraf hidup rumah tangganya sesuai dengan keunikan tatanan sosial, ekonomi, ekologi dan budaya di suatu wilayah. Salah satunya yang menjadi fokus penelitian ini, yaitu diversifikasi mata pencarian rumah tangga di pedesaan dalam konteks hubungan desa–kota. Kami berharap dapat menemukan formula yang dapat mendukung kemampuan penduduk pedesaan untuk mendiversifikasi mata pencarian mereka dalam menanggapi pembangunan perkotaan. Untuk mewujudkan tujuan tersebut, tim peneliti telah melakukan investigasi terhadap: (a) portofolio kegiatan mata pencarian masyarakat kecil pedesaan dalam rangka perjuangan untuk bertahan hidup dan peningkatan taraf hidup mereka dan (b) diversifikasi mata pencarian yang dilakukan oleh masyarakat kecil di konteks hubungan desa–kota.


considerable advantages, too, for the spread of producer co-operatives. In addition, while bypassing the obstacle posed by economic fragmentation, such investments would nevertheless be attacking it, thus raising the degree of economic integration. No doubt, these investments would require industrial inputs at a higher level than before and the financing of this might imply that the planners have to give up some of the surplus extracted from the agricultural sector for use by it within its boundaries. In our opinion, this approach provides the basis for achieving high growth targets in the medium term without compromising on the distributional front at the class, sector, or regional levels. Two qualifications need to be registered. First, this does not imply that the DTYP target of y = 7.5 per cent per annum becomes feasible in this strategy. Even in Case A, the argument was only partly that it was probably not achievable; rather, that achieving it with n = 3.5 per cent would almost certainly lead to a vicious inflationary spiral, thereby worsening income distribution. In Case B, the burden of financing would be shared in an egalitarian manner through the rationing system but its average level would not be any different. What is being argued is that, first, for any given n, y* (C) > y* (A, B), and second, the rate of growth of n would be substantially greater over time in Case C than in Case A or B. Thus, Case C could be viewed as laying the basis for an eventual second phase of an industrialisation drive of the type now being proposed, in our view, prematurely. Second, it is probable that under Case C, rural foodgrain consumption would rise in the short run. In this strategy, too, state farms would play a crucial part in the transitional phase and beyond. It is necessary therefore to assist them in achieving efficiency quickly, and to overcome the problems of haphazard location and early growth. A period of consolidation might be necessary prior to any further expansion on any large scale. Finally, we need to turn our focus to the problems of urban poverty and unemployment which are not directly handled in any of the three cases. A separate policy component is therefore called for. A two-pronged approach is necessary. The first of these is to ensure that all low-income earners are covered by the urban rationing system. In the present context, this would require extending the coverage to the smaller urban centres and even in the larger ones to that lowest strata which might not be registered in any urban kebele. Thus, the AMC needs to grow greatly and quickly. It is in this context that the current and future role of the state farm sector has to be seen. Even within the framework of Case C, it will be some time before the area of stable grain yields is extended to a point where the urban populations are not held to ransom by the weather all too frequently; in the meantime, the state farms provide an insurance cover which is indispensible. (A corresponding function would be performed in the food-insecure rural areas by the grain banks suggested earlier.) Further, the kebele shops need to move more into the inferior cereals, in particular, sorghum, maize and black teff. Improving the storage facilities of the AMC and state farms could achieve the welcome result of lowering cost by anything up to 15-20 per cent on some crops. All such gains registered should reflect themselves in lower prices for the inferior, rather than for the superior, cereals as appears to have been the case in the recent past.

Objectives: Test the effect of capital on household human relationship expenditure and thus examine the effect on the willingness to smoke. Methods: Threshold model and Critical theory of capital. Results: China is a large consumer of tobacco, and tobacco account for a significant proportion of interpersonal spending in China. It is found that the percentage of social spending of low-income families is much higher than that of high-income families. In recent years, the social expenditures of extremely low-income people have far exceeded their income. At the same time, the types of urban and rural areas, traditional customs, business management, social exchange, and education level significantly impact the family’s human relationship expenditure. Conclusion: This paper shows that, unlike in Western countries, cigarettes present a huge advantage in interpersonal interactions in China, hence the phenomenon that the richer one is, the more one consumes tobacco. Social poverty has become a significant obstacle to the sustainable growth of low-income people’s income. Under the effect of capital, the relationship between people is deeply reflected as the relationship between human and material, and then presents the characteristics of materialization. The reason why people accept this way of interaction lies in the domination of rational principles. To control the materialized social relations, we need the construction of timely theory and the formation of values free from capital control to alleviate the social poverty.
