本文研究了厄瓜多尔北部亚马逊地区移民殖民者从事非农就业决策的激励因素。综上所述，外聘劳务作为人口流动的一种形式，可能日益成为农村边疆地区的主要人口因素。虽然外聘人员的决定主要是个人选择的问题，但与农户和当地社区有关的因素也在这一决策中发挥关键作用。本文采用多层次概念框架，并采用多项、多层次统计模型研究1999年厄瓜多尔北部亚马逊地区的个人、农户和社区等因素对OFE的影响。研究结果表明，个体特征、人力资本、农户生命周期、土地利用、土地管理、农场环境条件、交通可达性、社区规模和当地劳动力市场结构等因素对劳务输出企业参与选择具有重要影响。本文还确定了政策相关变量对在当地社区、其他农村或目的地城市地区从事OFE的选择的影响。版权所有：John Wiley & Sons， Ltd。
This paper investigates the factors that motivate decisions of settler colonists to engage in off-farm employment (OFE) in the Northern Ecuadorian Amazon. Overall, OFE, as a type of population mobility, may increasingly become a dominant demographic factor in rural frontier regions. Although OFE decisions are primarily a matter of individual choice, factors associated with the farm household and the local community also play key roles in this decision making. This paper applies a multilevel conceptual framework and uses a multinomial, multilevel statistical model to study OFE in the Northern Ecuadorian Amazon in 1999 as a result of factors at the individual, farm household, and community levels. The results show important differences between OFE participation choices in personal characteristics, human capital, farm household life cycle, land use, land management, farm environmental conditions, transportation accessibility, community size, and structure of local labour markets. The paper also identifies the effects of policy-relevant variables on choices to engage in OFE in local community, other rural, or urban areas of destination.
