Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This Open Access book explores how e-commerce creates new opportunities for farmers and rural entrepreneurs while also revealing the structural barriers that limit inclusive digital participation. Drawing on empirical studies from countries such as the People s Republic of China, India, Indonesia, and Viet Nam, the chapters included in this book examine how e-commerce influences household income, market access, agricultural production, and rural development outcomes. The book also investigates the key drivers and constraints of rural e-commerce adoption, including digital infrastructure, education, digital literacy, gender dynamics, institutional support, and policy frameworks. Using nationally representative household surveys, cross-country datasets, and advanced econometric methods, the chapters demonstrate that a complex interplay of technological, socio-economic, and institutional factors shapes digital transformation in rural areas. By integrating insights from agricultural economics, development studies, and digital economy research, this book deepens our understanding of how digital innovation can promote inclusive rural transformation and offers policy guidance for harnessing e-commerce to support sustainable agricultural and rural development in Asia.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This Open Access book offers a new perspective for understanding rural transformation by moving beyond traditional income-based measures of development. It demonstrates that improvements in income alone do not necessarily lead to better lives in rural Asia and that subjective well-being reflected in people s happiness, life satisfaction, and mental health provides a richer lens for evaluating development outcomes. Drawing on empirical studies across Asian economies, the book examines how economic activities, social conditions, and institutional contexts shape rural well-being. Topics range from agricultural productivity and farmers happiness to the well-being implications of off-farm employment, clean energy transitions, sanitation improvements, aging and mental health, early-life experiences, and women s empowerment. Drawing on household surveys, cross-country datasets, and advanced econometric methods, the chapters reveal that rural well-being is shaped by a complex interplay of economic, social, environmental, and institutional factors. The findings show that policies related to rural employment, infrastructure, energy transitions, and social inclusion influence not only material living standards but also individuals perceptions of their lives. By integrating insights from agricultural economics, development studies, and well-being research, this book advances a deeper understanding of how rural development policies affect human welfare and offers new directions for promoting inclusive and sustainable rural development in Asia.…
