Hi Benson,
As stated in the ‘Introduction to Loidahar Village’ section of the Design Brief, “The economy of Loidahar is predominantly self-sustainment based, with agriculture serving as the mainstay. The rich, fertile soil gives farmers a wide variety of crop options for cultivation. Livestock rearing, including pigs, chickens and goats also contribute to livelihoods. Wage-based employment opportunities are limited, with the majority of the village self-employed in agriculture and part time construction, depending on project availability.”
You might also like to check out Timor-Leste Labour Force Survey (2021). While not a perfect resource, it might help you get a better understanding of income in Timor-Leste.
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Anthony
