Resettlement policy framework and specific resettlement action plan

The educational level of leasehold farmer family members is much higher than the average in the Project area. Among leasehold farmers, 28 percent of men and 9 percent of women have completed higher education or have a post-graduate degree.
Agriculture is the most significant source of income for leasehold farmers and their families. The percentage of working age persons is very high in the surveyed households and 66 percent of family members aged 16 and above (including the farmers themselves) work on the leasehold farm plot. The employment and economically active rate is high among both male and female family members. More than 30 percent of economically active family members have at least one additional job. There are no registered unemployed in leasehold farmer’s households; the share of pensioners is only 3 percent (comparing with average 8-10 percent for other households). In addition, there are no vulnerable members (e.g., disabled or very old people) in leasehold farmers’ households.
