“…The data point out that variables viz; family size (r = 0.217*), family income (r = 0.206*) and livelihood status (r = 0.446*) were found to be significantly and positively correlated with occupational mobility. Contradictory results were reported by Shaik & Chauhan (2022), the study revealed that annual income was non-significantly correlated with the willingness of farmer's next generation (son) to stay physically and work in the rural area. However, occupation of head of household (r = -0.199*) was found negatively and significantly associated with occupational mobility.…”
