Abstract

This study, using data on ever-married children aged 23–39 of household heads in four rice-growing villages in Cambodia, examines the mechanism underlying the rapid decrease in agricultural sector employment, or “deagrarianization,” among younger Cambodians during the 2010s. Special attention is devoted to the effects of increased marriage matching at the migration destination (MM), educational attainment, and decreased land availability. The stability of the deagrarianization process is also assessed.
