| description |
This paper addresses labor markets in
Haiti, including farm and nonfarm employment and income
generation. The analyses are based on the first Living
Conditions Survey of 7,186 households covering the whole
country and representative at the regional level. The
findings suggest that four key determinants of employment
and productivity in nonfarm activities are education,
gender, location, and migration status. This is emphasized
when nonfarm activities are divided into low-return and
high-return activities. The wage and producer income
analyses reveal that education is key to earning higher
wages and incomes. Moreover, producer incomes increase with
farm size, land title, and access to tools, electricity,
roads, irrigation, and other farm inputs. |
