Abstract

In developing countries, many household are exposed to high risk, uncertainties and crises, which not only causes of poverty, but also a path to micro-economic downturn. Studies have shown that households who have the fewest instruments to deal with these risks are considered poor. In some cases, they are seen as the most vulnerable. In Malaysia, both povertyand a wide variety of risks are widespread among household member, especially in the rural areas. The present research aims to examine rural households’ vulnerability to poverty using longitudinal data set of three waves. The present study developed and designed (an alternative to panel data) modules in cross-sectional surveys with recall questions that can beused to tract a households’ history and its evolution along various welfare dimensions. The study aims, in general, to analyse the link between exposure to risks and vulnerability to poverty of rural households in Kelantan and Terengganu. Data was collected from a three-round panel survey undertaken at 6 month interval to allow measurement of seasonal variation in behaviour and outcome and to balance both cross-sectional and time series requirements of panel data. 460 respondents were interviewed in the first round, but only 301 questionnaires in the last round were valid for dataanalysis. The findings illustrated that fighting future poverty is not only to incorporate monetary measure but also non -monetary measure need to be merged. The lack of access to assets and resources and the exposure to threats have made the process of recovering from poverty unsuccessful. Assets are regarded as the core element of vulnerability reduction. Both covariate and idiosyncratic risks are central causes behind a household future vulnerability. The effect of these threats is determined by its nature and level of severity, as well as by the type of strategies to respond tothe threats.

Abstract

Rubber is one of the top foreign exchange earners in Indonesia. Seventy percent of the land in Indonesiaused for the cultivation of rubber consists of smallholding and the remaining 30 percent are large plantations.There are 34,827 rubber smallholders in the South Sumatra Province and account for 87 percent ofrubber cultivation in the province. However, they contribute only about 55 percent of the total rubber production.In contrast, large rubber plantations which account for only 13 percent of rubber cultivation contribute45 percent of the rubber production which shows that rubber plantation productivity is very low.The objective of this study is to describe the productivity and socio economic profile and the affect of socioeconomic for rubber smallholders productivity. The total sample used for the study was 433 respondentsconsisting of 280 poor households and 153 non poor households. Data cross tabulation was used in thisstudy. The results show the socio economic profile reflects the level of rubber farmers education plays therole in the productivity of rubber plantation, the average working hours of the poor rubber farmers foreach age group is fewer than those who are not poor families, and the factor of the duration of workinghours is certainly associated with the area of the land to be prepared.

Abstract

The fact is that natural rubber has a strategic role as it is one of the commodities industry tropical crops. In addition, it also has important and strategic role in sup-porting the national economy, primarily as a source of livelihood of millions of rub-ber farmers in rural areas. This study analyzed the potential of using family labor in rubber smallholding sector in Banyuasin Regency, South Sumatra Province, Indo-nesia. The total sample used for the study was 280 respondents of households. Data was analyzed using multiple regression analyses. The multiple regression analysis used to identify the determinants of labor force participation decision regarding work in the rubber smallholding in the study area such as rubber production (kg per year per hectare), number of family workers, age of family head, location of dwelling, education of family head, and average years of schooling of family workers. Based on the analysis, only two factors affected significantly family labor force participation outside their smallholdings, namely number of family labor and education of family head.
