Factors affecting Household-level involvement in Rural Non-Farm Economic Activities in two communities in Dolj and Brasov judete, Romania

Abstract

This paper draws on preliminary research carried out during December 2000 and January 2001 in two communities in Romania, one (Rotbav) in the county (judet) of Brasov and the other (Motatei-Gara) in the county of Dolj. The purpose of the research was to establish a baseline picture of the kinds of non-farm activities in which people in these two rural communities were involved and what the main factors are which currently motivate involvement in different activities. The research is part of a broader research project which is looking at involvement in non-farm activities in rural communities in Eastern Europe and the CIS countries.
