some income. Intergroup variations were greater in the case
of major family income source, in the large majority of cases
contributing to well over 50 percent of all household income
(Table 6.21.). Indeed a rather different picture emerges when
27
we look at the data in Table 6.21 For the landless group, non
agricultural employment is relatively more important as a
major income source than for all income sources, accounting
for 43 percent of all activities undertaken by landless house-
holds, and significantly larger than the proportion of landless
households in the farm laboring group. Among the land own-
ing classes there was a significance in the proportion of house-
holds which reported farming as a major income source be-
tween the very small farmers (owning less than 0.25 ha) and
the other classes. In the very small farmer group farming was
still the major source for over half all households, but non
agricultural income, especially trade was also prominent. The
two intermediate sawah groups indicate fairly similar distri-
butions but there is a significant change when we look at the
largest sawah ownership class: farming increases in impor-
tance and so too does the white collar and non wage groups.
Many village officials fall into the largest sawah owning class
and so too do households depending entirely on rental in-

come from leased land.

27 Data were also collected on the approximate contribution of
each income source to household income but in coding only broad
groups were distinguished, the upper group unfortunately being
50 percent or more into which almost all major income sources
fell. For this reason the data is not presented here.
