Trade as Off-Farm Employment in Central Java

During the past two decades off-farm and other non-agricultural employment has increased rapidly in rural Java mainly due to an increase infernale employment in petty trade. After a discussion of various definitions and hypotheses on the growth of off-farm employment and trade it is concluded that the growth in petty trade is not a sign of economic stagnation or agricultural involution but rather a crucial step in the transformation of Javanese peasant society and the future development of the Indonesian economy. This conclusion is supported by results of a large-scale survey on offfarm employment in the district ofJatinom, Central Java. Eightyone per cent of all traders are women, of whom two-thirds are engaged in trade as off-farm employment
