Accomplishments
In the fall of 2000, 708 respondents in the 1997 National Family Business Survey were re-interviewed. Eighty-six previous interviews of home managers were dropped from the current study, one previous case was deemed ineligible for a total of 707 cases (households). The data analysis will provide the first longitudinal study of family-owned business in the United States studied as households and resulting in the assessments of their contributions to rural viability. The significance of family owned businesses in rural areas will be shown. This information will be invaluable in determining state and federal labor policies, programs, and laws. Products from these studies will include teaching and extension materials for working with families at the margin.
Basically, this project will result in more effective public institutional support for family businesses, more informed policy decisions and laws regulating home-based work, and enhanced economic vitality of rural families and communities
