非农业活动平均贡献了墨西哥农艺村一半以上的家庭收入。参与这些活动有助于减少贫困，促进收入分配更加平等。本文分析了家庭获得非农收入来源的决定因素。我们发现，教育在获得更高报酬的非农业就业方面起着重要作用。土著族裔出身的成年人受教育滞后，与同等教育水平的非土著成年人相比，获得非农业就业的机会较少。非农就业的区域可得性强烈影响参与率。此外，由于距离城市中心较远，妇女获得非农就业的能力受到不同程度的限制。2001爱思唯尔科学有限公司版权所有。
Off-farm activities generate on average more than half of farm households' incomes in the Mexican ejido sector. Participation in these activities helps reduce poverty and contributes to greater equality in the distribution of income. This paper analyzes the determinants of access to off-farm sources of income across households. We find that education plays a major role in accessing better remunerated nonagricultural employment. Adults of indigenous ethnic origin suffer from an educational lag and have less access to off-farm nonagricultural employment than non-indigenous adults at identical educational levels. The regional availability of off-farm employment strongly affects participation. In addition, women are differentially limited by distance to urban centers in their ability to gain off-farm employment. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
