- W597107847 abstract "Unemployment and under-employment are major problems inNepal resulting from growth in agricultural labour, insufficientagricultural land, small farm size and low cropping intensity.One way to alleviate such problems would be to adopts moreintensive system of agriculture. This requires a knowledge on thelabour absorption capacities of different crops. This studyexamines the employment of farm labour in vegetable cultivationas compared to cereal cultivation in Kathmandu valley. Morespecifically, it examines the influence of production function variables, cropping intensity and price of labour on theemployment of total labour and, employment of family and hiredlabour separately in paddy, wheat and vegetable cultivation.The employment of total labour is modelled using a singleequation model and the employment of family and hired labour ismodelled using a simultaneous equation system. The total labourmodel is estimated by ordinary least squares technique and thesimultaneous equation model is estimated by the instrumentalvariable estimation procedure.Variables such as farm size, tractor use, bullock power andprice of labour are found significantly and negatively related tothe employment of farm labour. The other set of variables such asseed-manure-fertilizer-pesticide, irrigation, high yieldingvarieties and cropping intensity are found significantly andpositively related to the employment of farm labour. In addition,vegetable cultivation is found more profitable and more labour intensive than cereal cultivation.Vegetable cultivation is recommended as a possible solutionto ease the problems of unemployment and under-employment inNepal. Hired labour is found to be an important beneficiary ofvegetable cultivation. Vegetable cultivation would thereforeprovide more employment opportunities to the landless andmarginal farm workers in Nepal." @default.
