The paper analyzes the relationship between off-farm labor allocation and
on-farm enterprise diversification as farm household income stabilization
strategies with census data from the federal state of Upper Austria,
Austria. The results suggest that both on-farm diversification and off-farm
labor allocation are related to farm and household characteristics. Larger
farms tend to be more diversified. Younger farmers are more likely to work
off-farm. Larger farm households tend to allocate more labor to off-farm
income activities.
