| Abstract: | Individuals living in farm households who commute to wage employment make up an important portion of Japan's "nonfarm" workers. This study examines their growing numbers and the regional and sectoral trends in their off-farm jobs, to argue that farms have been more involved in recent macroeconomic growth than is commonly acknowledged. In the 20 years between 1965 and 1985, individuals living on farms filled new manufacturing jobs in the regions outside the Tokaido urban-industrial belt. |
