“…Previous researchers have primarily explored factors like employment, working conditions, income, age, and marital status in the examination of gender dynamics within the value chain, and although the favorable impact of cassava selling prices on women's engagement in cassava cultivation was observed, it did not achieve statistical significance; this finding aligns with the outcomes of Van et al (2018), which identified that women's participation in value chain was influenced by educational attainment, the count of dependents and credit accessibility.…”

Article HistoryIn the face of challenges such as nonsufficient rural incomes and gender factors influences, numerous rural women are enhancing their contributions to the farming system by actively participating in the agricultural value chain. This involvement is leading to improvements in agricultural output, the income of household, and sustainable living. In this research, we explore the factors influencing involvement in cassava production in the Central Highlands in the Vietnam and decision-making within the cassava value chain, all from a gender aspect. We collected data by conducting a survey based on questionnaires with 330 smallholder farmers, conducting in-depth interviews with informative experts, and facilitating focus groupdiscussions. In this regard, the Ordinary least squares regression and Probit models were employed within Heckman model with two-stage to identify the factors influencing women's choices regarding involvement in cultivation of cassava plant, the extent of their participation, and their engagement in other phases of this case. According to the survey findings, men play a dominant role in all aspects of cassava farming. However, there is a more balanced gender representation when it comes to decision-making regarding participation in cassava production and determining the cassava volume to be provided for trade objectives. This article highlights the ongoing challenges faced by female smallholder farmers and underscores that women's empowerment depends on the equitable dynamics within households, as well as social norms within the community.

“…It has been shown that the elderly and the young are not active income generators and cannot do hard work in the farm sector. Larger households indicate elderly and adolescent individuals (Van Tran et al, 2019) and therefore a lower value of per capita output in the agricultural sector. Younger members of farm households also attend school and hence cannot participate actively in income generation, yielding a negative effect on household income.…”

Ramifications of Households’ Nonfarm Income on Agricultural Productivity: Evidence From a Rural Area of Pakistan

et al. 2020

Currently in Pakistan, the agricultural sector contributes up to 18.9% of the gross domestic product. As a result of modern science and technology development, the source of income for rural households is changing, and nonfarm income has become the main source. This study investigates the effects of nonfarm income on agricultural productivity in rural Pakistan. The current research data has been collected from the Pakistan Social and Living Standards Measurement Survey (PSLM) 2017-2018, a sample of rural and urban areas designed by Pakistan's Federal Bureau of Statistics. In this study, Heckman's two-step procedure is used to tackle the problems of endogeneity and selection bias. The first phase, probit regression, indicates that the accessibility of banks, motorable roads, forest, telecommunication substructure, montane grasslands, and shrublands zone affects nonfarm income. On the other hand, the second stage, ordinary least squares regression, found a negative impact of nonfarm income on per capita farm income. Furthermore, results reveal that nonfarm household income has a significant positive effect on agricultural productivity.

“…Many studies have focused on the issue of gender gap in agriculture (Van Tran et al, 2018;Ali et al, 2016;Elahi et al, 2020) and livestock sectors (Debela, 2017;Elahi et al, 2019a). In Ethiopia, a few studies have examined learning achievement gaps in primary and secondary education (Sanfo and Ogawa, 2021;Tesema and Braeken, 2018).…”

PurposeThis paper examines the gender achievement gap in the Ethiopian secondary education system using tenth-grade national examination results for the period 2002/03–2013/14.Design/methodology/approachStatistical tests are employed to determine equality of the average male and female GPAs (grade point average), and equality of the proportions of female and male test-takers in the upper and lower achievement distributions. Further, a panel fixed effects model is used to evaluate factors that affect the regional average GPAs by gender and to determine whether those factors could explain observed gender achievement gaps.FindingsResults indicate statistically significant gender achievement gaps in all regional states and the capital city. The gap has been persistent with a minor declining trend and will not be closed if continued at the current trend. The authors also find that the regional average male and female test scores could be explained partially by factors such as pupil-teacher ratio, the proportion of rural students and access to secondary schools. These factors, however, cannot explain the observed gender achievement gap.Originality/valueThe study uses regional data collected from the annual educational abstracts published by the Ethiopian ministry of education. It investigates the trends of the gender achievement gaps across the regional states and overtime at the tenth-grade level. It depicts the persistence of the gap hindering girls from furthering their education.
