Evidence abounds in the livelihoods literature that rural
households have a diversified portfolio of income sources, and that
the share of income from non-farm sources is increasing overtime.
Using data from national level household survey, this study
investigates the determinants of non-farm income diversification
among rural households in Ghana, as well as its income distribution
and welfare implications. The findings of the study provide
additional insight into diversification behaviors of rural
households across the developing world, and highlight the need to
promote and enhance the capacities of rural households, especially
poorer households, to participate effectively in non-farm
activities as a complement to agriculture to help reduce rural
poverty. This book therefore is a useful reference material for
policy makers, researchers and students of development economics.
