Green Revolution, Human Capital, and Off-Farm Employment: Changing Sources of Income among Farm Households in Central Luzon, 1966-1994(*)
Article Abstract:

With the adoption of fertilizers for high-yield crops, income moved away from farming and toward industrial labor. Increasing urbanization and educational achievement also redirected origins of income from traditional rural work to urban job employment.
