Village-level research in Gujarat provides the basis for this study of how poor households in India maintain their livelihood in the face of expected seasonal shortages, e.g., in food supply or labor, and in the face of sudden shortages from periodic calamities (in this case, drought). The role of women in meeting these challenges is emphasized. After an initial section detailing how the theoretical concept of livelihood systems was used to organize the study, research findings are presented in detail. Household strategies for coping with seasonality include diversifying income sources (by seeking second jobs, cultivating a variety of crops or livestock, etc.); migrating; stocking up on various supplies; mortgaging or selling assets; sharecropping; borrowing and lending; drawing upon common property resources (e.g., pastures, village wells and trees); and drawing upon the various forms of social and family relationships. Strategies against drought include intensifying/diversifying productive activities; reducing food consumption; reducing expenditures for festivals, clothing, entertainment, and visiting; participating in relief work; moneylending; migrating; mortgaging or sellin
