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.
