Resumo: | We study the relationship between the off-farm labor decision and the limited-resource farmers’ and spouses’ off-farm experience, education, and sources of income.  We found that farmers’ and spouses’ off-farm experience and wages are significant factors in explaining the off-farm labor supply decision.  Contrary to expectations, farm income variability is not significant in the farmers’ and spouses’ decision to see off-farm work.  The off-farm labor supply of farmers and their spouses is negatively correlated with income transfers from the government.  It was also found that the spouse is a residual supplier of on-farm and off-farm labor.
