Why choose this project topic?
Opportunity Costs of Family Labour Across Farm and Non-Farm Activities gives the proposal a specific agricultural decision to investigate. By examining competition for adult household labour between farming and other work, the study can connect an accessible evidence base with an explicit comparison and a useful account of uncertainty.
Which farm tasks overlap with alternative earning opportunities during the selected season?
Select a peak labour period and exclude child labour participation.
Proposed project objectives
- 01Define a feasible study scope for competition for adult household labour between farming and other work.
- 02Collect voluntary adult time diaries and local wage observations using consistent activity definitions.
- 03Value alternative time allocations under disclosed wage assumptions and report unpaid care separately.
A suggested research approach
Collect voluntary adult time diaries and local wage observations using consistent activity definitions. Value alternative time allocations under disclosed wage assumptions and report unpaid care separately. Agree access, sampling and any required ethical or laboratory approval with your supervisor before collection. Keep original observations separate from assumptions and record missing or unusable evidence.
What you will need
- Adult consent
- Time diaries
- Wage observations
Keep your project scope clear
Observed wage rates may not represent work opportunities actually available to every household.
