Rural household livelihood strategies in a Sri Lankan village
研究了斯里兰卡康提地区一个村庄的家庭收入策略，发现人口增长迫使家庭与外界建立复杂关系，土地多的家庭能投资农业和教育，而佃农和无地者只能出卖劳动力，且政治因素加剧了经济紧张。
This paper examines the household income‐generating strategies in a Kandyan village. Pushed by population growth, heads of households are forced to enter into increasingly complex relations with the outside world. Those with the initial advantage of larger landholdings are able to educate their children, find more secure sources of outside income and invest in agriculture productivity. The tenants and landless are forced to sell their labour, often outside of the village. The critical contacts for both owner‐operator and other households are increasingly channelled through local political leaders, which adds political differences to economic tensions.
