Linking environment, malaria, and agricultural returns: a labor time use analysis at different stages of production using 3SLS.

摘要: The present study was designed to investigate the effects of disease on time spent by family and hired labor farm activities. effect illness cost incurred activities revenue earned from agriculture has also been examined in detail. reason behind choosing malaria is because its strong association with quality surrounding environment especially case workers who are compelled work environmental conditions quite suitable for transmission malaria. health shocks due are segregated according three stages production: land preparation, field management, harvesting stages. Simultaneous equation model employed using cross-sectional data collected 252 through a pre-tested questionnaire. Farmers’ living found be contributing spread disease. Results show that affects at stage as it more labor-intensive production. We find significantly their families forcing substitute labor. Further, cure adds agricultural This consequently leads substantial reduction revenue. prevention negative suggests that, order make farmers productive, there should interventions specifically targeting farmers. It suggested successful irrigated areas, magnitude different production given consideration.
