Abstract: Guevara, Camilo Vicente III, "Women as Agricultural Manpower Source in "Project Ugnayan" Barrios. B.S. Thesis, Agricultural Economics, DSAC, Indang, Cavite. March 1980. A survey of rural women in the three "Project UGNAYAN" barrios of Don Severino Agricultural College, Indang, Cavite was conducted to determine the potential ties of Filipino Women as a source of agricultural man- power. There were 180 respondents involved, 60 each from barrios of Bancod and Buna Lejos in Indang and Cabuco in Trece Martires City. The study revealed that women involved in farming activities were between the age of 15 and 77, majority were married, had somehow attended/finished primary, inter- mediate, secondary or college, and only 15.55 percent had no formal schooling at all. Average family size was four to six children with 50 percent of them in school. The land area cultivated by each respondent ranged from one to three hectares, more than 50 percent were landowners and majority were practicing multiple-cropping system of farming. Most of them belong to the low-income group, less active in farming organization membership and did not indulge in hobbies. The rural women were involved more in Type 4 farming activity (combination of animal care, harvesting, postharvest and plant care). The average rate of involvement in farming activities was 3.22 hrs./day. Participation in farming activities was high among the respondents in making use of free hours. The major problems cited in connection with their farming involvement were baby-sitting, loaded with household chores, husband would not let them work and pregnancy. Finally, this study pointed to the fact that rural women are important if not an indispensable source of agricultural manpower.
