Parent Group       

Similar to the adolescent and peer groups, the parent group showed a large majority 

(76%) of the respondents  major source of income in agriculture/farming. However, a 

small proportion of the respondents mentioned other sources of income such as daily 

wage labor, overseas employment etc. (Ta ble 2.1.8).  

Consistent with the baseline survey, nearly three fourths (73%) of the respondents 

supported the family by engaging in some kind of work. Of these, nearly half (47%) of 

the respondents support the family in agricultural labor while others earned a daily wage 

(16%) or worked in construction (5%) (Table 2.1.9).
