Abstract: Farmers are constantly faced with employment decisions off the farm. To work off farm would definitely increase their incomes but this will affect their farming jobs. This study analyses the farm labour decision making process of farmers in an IADP in Selangor, Malaysia. Results indicate the consistency of labour allocation decisions as in other past studies. Farmers do response rationally to favourable economic stimuli off the farm with respect to the labour supply decision making process.
