Benign Rural Transitions

Part-time Farming RNFE

Small-scale: 1/5 jobs
Services, not manufacturing
Low tech Little capital
But RNFE can thrive, beat poverty
China, India, Thailand, Taiwan, etc.
Enigma of the RNFE

• Enabling rural investment climate • Rural public goods: roads/power;
education/health Straightforward
• Rural financial services Tricky
Near-identical to Agricultural Development agenda! Trade-offs???
Policy for RNFE: big points
![Page 8: TOPIC GUIDE: Stepping out of agriculture - GOV UK€¦ · Stepping out of agriculture . Agriculture’s relative decline . Most SF today will not be full- ... •Indirectly, RNFE](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062403/5fcdc6a0f193937e4d4bbec4/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Policy for RNFE: finessing
Beware firm-specific actions: work up the hierarchy – sad history of rural ind estates,etc.
• Low public cost? • Must decentralise
LED & DTR/RTD
• Training & education • Anti-discrimination • Mitigate rural market failures
Poverty-focused?

Migration from rural areas
Much is seasonal, cyclical, maintains rural links
• Economic, but household logic • Social • Capabilities & Aspirations: social
networks
Varied Motivations

Impacts of migration
Generally positive
• Remittances, diverse uses • Loss labour: buy in? Rural areas:
• Sometimes: bad treatment, poor living conditions, discrimination
• Social sadness, sacrifice Migrants:

Policy
• Strain services in urban areas, slums • Political discontent • Restrictions on movement have little
effect, but raise costs & dangers
Most governments
discourage migration
• Better info re distant opps • Reduce costs of remittances • Protect migrant rights in work & to public
services • (Develop rural financial services)
Better: facilitate rural
household choices

Rural-urban links
• Agglomeration economies
Urbanisation: back in fashion
• Leisure • Environmental services • Land • Comp with rural manufacturing
Closer links: urban demand for

Policy
• Growth poles • Agropolitan centres
Disappointments in planned urbanisation
Secondary towns may create more jobs than metropoles
Invest in roads, people & the land rights of those in peri-urban areas
LED, RTD, industrial clusters + decentral.

Social: who steps out?
Initial advantages in RNFE & migration: those with education, capital, social networks
• Directly, earnings from RNFE • Indirectly, RNFE tightens rural labour market, higher
wages, • Safety net when shocks occur
But poor can & do benefit:
Inequality effect ambiguous

Gendered impacts
• fewer opps: tied to homes • worse conditions and pay • more vulnerability as migrants • more work when men leave
Women have
But RNFE & migration may still benefit women

Women & Stepping out: policies
Education for girls
Rights and protection as migrants
•Ethical placement & registration •Toilets! •Street lighting & safety on buses •Rehab for trafficked & abused
India examples:

Geographical disadvantage
Few options for remote regions lacking resources
WDR 2009: regional incomes diverge before they converge
Remote areas with some potential can progress when
connected: NE Thailand

Lessons: agricultural development
Agricultural development not in conflict with RNFE
• Technology for part-time farmers
• Flexible and equitable tenure
If farmers are leaving,
then:

Lessons: Overall
Processes: multi-stranded, complicated, fluid, difficult to measure, highly contingent
Can’t micro-manage: instead facilitate & enable, protect & compensate, individuals, households, firms
Govt: focus on fundamentals; but encourage others -- NGOs, local government, unions, co-ops, etc. -- to explore detail
Track better changes, e.g. rural wages
