1) Excludes tenants in-out (32 households) and ten households with land
fallow or other statuses.
2)Households in which farming was a fourth income source and one large
TRIS non operator.

From the data presented above we can conclude that di-
versity in income earning activities is not significantly influ-
enced by area of land owned or operated among the various
tenancy groups. The major contrasts were between tenancy
groups irrespective of area of sawah owned or controlled. Bet-
ween tenancy groups, however, there was little variation in
the distribution of major income sources for the various

tenancy status groups. The data are presented in Table 6.24
Farming was reported as the major source of family income
by the majority of households in all tenancy statuses for both
small and larger operators, the single exception being smaller
tenant operators.
Even the majority of operators tenanting land out reported
farming as their major source of family income. Indeed, the
contrast between small and larger operators was much greater
than for all income sources with farming, as one would expect,
being of greater importance within the larger operating group
(ranging from 87 percent of households among owner opera-
tors and owner tenants–in 75 percent for pure tenants).
Consistent with findings for the various landowning
classes, trade was the major non agricultural source of income
for most of the smaller operator tenancy groups, although it
was of much less significance among the larger operators. As
alluded to above, relatively well paid and stable white collar

jobs were of some importance (13 percent of households)
