Abstract

This research highlight presents key features of off-farm employment in Myanmar’s Southern Shan State. Analysis is based on the Shan Household Agriculture and Rural Economy Survey (SHARES), which collected detailed information on livelihoods and agriculture from 1562 households in nine townships. In this study, off-farm employment is defined as any income generating activity that does not take place on the household’s farm. Off-farm employment can therefore include both agriculture and non-agriculture related activities. We distinguish four main categories of off-farm employment: casual wage employment, salaried employment, non-farm enterprises, and natural resource extraction. Findings related to migration are presented in a separate research highlight. Below, we present the research findings in five sub-sections. The first provides a general overview of off-farm employment, and is followed by subsections presenting results on each of the four main categories of off-farm employment listed above.
