Abstract
The paper uses up-to-date household data from two Northern-Albanian regions. It summarises
socio-economic facts on taking up remunerative non-farm employment and identifies the
determinants of non-farm income diversification at the farm household level based on a binary
logistic regression. Furthermore, the paper provides insight in the northern-Albanian farming
structure, migration patterns, attitudes towards and reasons for income diversification into the
non-farm sector. Income diversification indeed has a positive impact on the welfare of the
households: A statistically significant increasing trend in incomes with rising diversification
level was observed.
