This paper addresses labor markets in Haiti, including
farm and nonfarm employment and income generation.
The analyses are based on the first Living Conditions
Survey of 7,186 households covering the whole country
and representative at the regional level. The findings
suggest that four key determinants of employment and
productivity in nonfarm activities are education, gender
location, and migration status. This is emphasized when
nonfarm activities are divided into low-return and highreturn
activities. The wage and producer income analyses
reveal that education is key to earning higher wages and
incomes. Moreover, producer incomes increase with
farm size, land title, and access to tools, electricity, roads,
irrigation, and other farm inputs.
