Abstract:

This study aimed to find out the mobility of the agricultural workforces to the non-agricultural sector. This research was conducted in Wonosari Village, T. Morawa Sub-district, Deli Serdang Regency. The research location was determined purposively. Sampling was carried out by "Stratified Random Sampling." From 62 farmer populations in the research area, sampling obtained 62 respondents with 38 farm labourers' and 24 farmers. Data
analysis used an average difference test (t-test). The results showed that men who worked as agricultural labourers did working mobility from agriculture were 24.18%, while female respondents were 16.13%. The male respondents working as farmers did working from agriculture to non-agriculture, were 11.29% of women who remained to be farm labourers and farmers. The total of farm labourers who did the working mobility was 40.32% compared to the agricultural sector, which was 12.90%. The income level of workforces that performed working migration (non-farm) was higher than those in the agricultural sector. The average income from the nonagricultural sector was Rp. 1.856.363,64, while from agriculture, was only Rp. 15.200.000,00. There was a difference in income between labour in agricultural and non-agricultural sectors, where the income in the non-agricultural sector was higher than in agriculture. There was no difference in men's and women's employment opportunities in agricultural and non-agricultural sectors in the research areas.
