Non-farm Income and Employment in Rural Honduras: Assessing the Role of Locational Factors
研究了区位因素如何影响洪都拉斯农村的非农就业机会，发现非农工资工作集中在城市附近，而自雇就业则分散于农业、交通或旅游活跃的地区。非农收入占农村家庭总收入的31.3%，提示政策制定者应重视该部门。
This article emphasises the role of locational factors in the determination of rural non-farm (RNF) employment possibilities in rural Honduras. It finds that while RNF wage jobs are predominantly located close to urban areas, RNF self-employment jobs are geographically dispersed around the country, depending on local motors such as a profitable agricultural activity, an important road, or a tourist attraction. In all, the importance of RNF income for rural households (31.3 per cent of total income) suggests that the RNF sector should be considered when designing policies to improve the capabilities and livelihood of the rural Honduran.
