Forces behind the Growth of Rural Industries in Developing Countries. A Survey of Literature and a Case Study from Indonesia.

Tambunan, Tulus

Journal of Rural Studies, v11 n2 p203-15 Apr 1995

The literature suggests that growth of rural industries in developing nations indicates rural poverty and lack of farm employment rather than rural development. A survey of 115 small producers of various goods in rural West Java (Indonesia) confirms that most are poor, have little education, and undertake production for survival reasons. Contains 56 references. (Author/SV)
