Abstract

This paper examines the role that off-farm employment (OFE) plays in the restructuring of peasant economies. In particular, we examine the incidence and pattern of labor allocation as it relates to landownership and family life cycle (FLC) stages in the Indonesian transmigration program.... Using a sample of South Sumatran transmigration schemes, our findings show that both size of landholdings and the life cycle stage of the family influence labor allocation decisions....The results show how landownership and other means of production can influence the trade-off between children's education and the use of child labor at various stages in the FLC."
