Utilising time-series data from the National Labour Force Survey from 32 provinces in three different years (2010, 2015, and 2020), we analysed the linkages between rural transformation and gender-related variables such as womenʼs access to healthcare, education, and technology, gendered income gaps, and womenʼs engagement in agriculture. The results reveal that enhancing education and healthcare accessibility for women can significantly boost their earnings. Basic infrastructure, such as electricity and clean water, is also critical in driving non-agricultural GDP growth. The findings also show that involving women in rural non-farm labour is essential for rural transformation, suggesting that policies must focus on gender equality in education, healthcare, and infrastructure access to accelerate economic diversification. Further action is also needed to overcome ongoing gender disparities in womenʼs economic empowerment, such as the prevailing substantial gendered income gap between men and women in rural areas in Indonesia.","PeriodicalId":45839,"journal":{"name":"Asia & the Pacific Policy Studies","volume":"12 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/app5.70027","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143883817","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on co-patent data from 21 prefectural cities in Guangdong province, this study investigates the effects of intergovernmental networks on intercity collaborative innovation, with a specific focus on the different impacts of top-down designed and self-organised networks. The findings indicate that both the designed and self-organised intergovernmental networks can promote intercity collaborations regarding innovation. Furthermore, although geographical distance continues to pose a significant barrier to collaborative patents, it has been mitigated by the establishment of intergovernmental networks. This substitution effect is most evident for the networks established through intercity site visits and policy learning. Further analyses indicate that intergovernmental networks have more pronounced impacts on intra-industrial co-inventions, primarily resulting from the networking of self-organised intercity relationships and interactions between developed city-pairs.","PeriodicalId":45839,"journal":{"name":"Asia & the Pacific Policy Studies","volume":"12 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/app5.70025","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143770444","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, studies addressing gender disparities in this context are absent in Pakistan, highlighting a critical research gap. The present address this gap by conducting an analysis based on 78 districts over the period 2004 to 2019 to investigate whether gender inclusion has any role in the rural transformation process at the regional level or not. Using fixed effects panel model, findings highlight the role of educated women in advancing rural transformation. These impacts vary in magnitude across regions and stages. Education is significantly related to share of high-value crops in agriculture, especially in districts of Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, where the impact is more pronounced compared to Baluchistan. However, education does not significantly increase female off-farm employment in Punjab compared to Baluchistan, likely due to regional heterogeneity. In Sindh, increased female education correlates with a shift from farm to off-farm employment. Additionally, female employment rate, female labour force participation rate, and per capita income positively influence rural transformation, especially at advanced stages.","PeriodicalId":45839,"journal":{"name":"Asia & the Pacific Policy Studies","volume":"12 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/app5.70023","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143770443","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It employs descriptive statistics to explore the transformation from food crops to high-value commodities, womenʼs roles in on-farm and non-farm sectors, womenʼs working hours and wages, and rural household income. The findings reveal a complex dynamic. While womenʼs participation in the workforce has increased across Indonesia, their roles in the agricultural sector remain multifaceted. Furthermore, the shift towards high-value commodities presents both challenges and opportunities for women. Although it may lead to increased workloads and marginalisation, it may also offer new income-generating opportunities and opportunities for greater empowerment. This study addresses a critical research gap by examining womenʼs specific experiences and contributions in the transition from food crops to high-value commodities and their role in the shift from agricultural to non-agricultural livelihoods, which remain understudied in the context of Indonesiaʼs agricultural transformation. It emphasises the importance of policies that address gender inequality and empower women to fully participate in and benefit from rural development initiatives.","PeriodicalId":45839,"journal":{"name":"Asia & the Pacific Policy Studies","volume":"12 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/app5.70021","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143689464","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this regard, we propose that the expansion of the service sector in developing countries significantly influences the development of agricultural value chain, promoting wealth creation. We posit that when global value chains in agriculture are used to interpret rural transformation, the crucial function of services is often underemphasised. We construct an interaction term between the productivity dynamics in services and the evolution of global value chain (GVC) over time. The key finding suggests that the coevolution of service sector development and participation in GVC strongly correlates with increases in agricultural sector productivity. The analysis highlights the importance of considering the stage of development and the specific service subsectors when examining the relationship between services, GVC and rural transformation. We propose that enhancing the institutional environment, particularly with respect to contracts within such value chains, enables a larger role for domestic actors in capturing this value.","PeriodicalId":45839,"journal":{"name":"Asia & the Pacific Policy Studies","volume":"12 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/app5.70018","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143554407","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
