摘要

The diversification of income sources becomes of major importance in rural areas since agriculturealone is unable to meet rural people's needs. Aiming to assess the role of livelihoods strategies inrural development and poverty alleviation in selected areas in Syria, the present study discusses therole of income diversification in poverty reduction and income inequality. Using the asset-basedapproach as the main framework, qualitative and quantitative methods were employed for the purposeof this study. In addition to secondary data, primary data was collected in five rural areas in Syria, asample of 444 households was chosen to represent five distinguished farming systems, and theinterviews used a structured and comprehensive questionnaire. The results reveal that diversificationof income sources is connected with the households status and endowments, poor householdsdepends mainly on labor-intensive and low-waged activities, while non-poor households rely on theirassets to engage in more profitable activities especially self-employment. The study also findsevidence that engaging in non-farm activities increases inequality among households and decreasespoverty;;the use of income decomposition analysis revealed that waged non-farm income is inequalitydecreasingsources to overall income sources, while non-farm self-employment is inequalityincreasingsource of income. These results combined with findings from households' asset descriptionsuggest that poor households lack the access to capitals (i.e. irrigated land, financial capital) whichmeans that it is important to focus on non-agricultural activities in order to become better-off.Moreover, results from econometric analysis evidently indicated that better education has a positiveimpact on poverty status as well. These results imply that the attainment of higher education level willmove poor people out of poverty and improve their well-being.
