Jobs Off the Farm: Wealth, Human Capital, and Social Group in Rural Eastern India
This study examines the effects of wealth, human capital, and social group on the occupational choice and income of farm households, to gain an understanding of the mechanism underlying the recently increasing income diversification in rural eastern India. The results show that wealth and human capital have a positive impact on the choice of high-return jobs, and low caste workers are more likely to work in casual, low-paying jobs, partly due to …

HIV/Aids and home-based health care
This paper highlights the socio-economic impacts of HIV/AIDS on women. It argues that the socio-cultural beliefs that value the male and female lives differently lead to differential access to health care services. The position of women is exacerbated by their low financial base especially in the rural community where their main source of livelihood, agricultural production does not pay much. But even their active involvement in agricultural prod…

Living Arrangements and Schooling of Orphaned Children and Adolescents in Uganda
This article estimates the determinants of the living arrangements and school enrollment of orphans in Uganda. The results indicate that orphans, those who have lost at least one biological parent, are more likely to be found in female‐headed households than male‐headed households. As the education of the female members, the number of female elders, and the value of assets increase, the probability of living with orphans who are not the biologica…
Child Growth, Shocks, and Food Aid in Rural Ethiopia
Child stunting in Ethiopia has persisted at alarming rates, despite enormous amounts of food aid, often procured in response to shocks. Using nationally representative data, the study finds that while harvest failure leads to child growth faltering, food aid affected child growth positively and offset the negative effects of shocks in communities that received food aid. However, many communities that experienced shocks did not receive food aid. I…
Working-Age Adult Mortality and Primary School Attendance in Rural Kenya
The rapid increase in adult mortality due to the AIDS epidemic in sub‐Saharan Africa raises great concern about potential intergenerational effects on children.

The article distinguishes between effects on boys’ and girls’ education to understand potential gender differen…
