Full textAbstract:
Purpose In past literature, employee has been extensively utilized as input in most data envelopment analysis (DEA) studies, but different labor types are identically defined to be the same input factor without a specific assumption for their heterogeneity. The influence of manual and non-manual labor utilization on performance also has not been investigated in hotel efficiency analyses. The purpose of this study is to assess inefficiency indices derived from manual and non-manual labor, and analyze the influence of labor utilization on hotel’s operational efficiency. Design/methodology/approach Based on the different features of the two labor types, performance indicators are evaluated through the hybrid DEA model. Findings More than 32 per cent of tourist hotels are evaluated as efficient and more than half the hotels have an efficiency score lower than the average. The author evaluated the inefficiency caused by radial inputs that have a greater influence on efficiency. This finding indicates that most hotels are efficient in their utilization of non-manual labor. The investigation of external factors shows that excessive utilization of non-manual labor results in a slight influence on operational efficiency across many non-chain hotels. The author also found the efficiency of non-manual labor utilization to be lower at hotels located in resort areas. Originality/value This study used the hybrid DEA model, in which non-manual and manual labors are assumed as non-radial and radial inputs, respectively, to evaluate efficiency. Finding the significance of heterogeneous assumptions for manual and non-manual labor types is the main contribution to the theory of hotel efficiency measurement.

Full textAbstract:
This study examines the relationship between capacity utilization and corporate resilience of aviation industry in Nigeria, with a focus on the moderating role of organizational size. Using a correlational research design, the study explores how the dimensions of capacity utilization—labor utilization and technological utilization—affect the measures of corporate resilience, namely adaptability and risk mitigation. A total of 303 respondents were sampled from a population of 1,254 management staff in domestic airlines, and data were collected using a structured questionnaire. The findings, analyzed using Spearman rank correlation, revealed significant positive relationships between labor utilization and adaptability (r = .534, p < .01) as well as risk mitigation (r = .693, p < .01). Similarly, technological utilization significantly correlated with adaptability (r = .708, p < .01) and risk mitigation (r = .629, p < .01). Furthermore, organizational size was found to moderate the relationship between capacity utilization and corporate resilience, indicating that larger firms benefit more from capacity optimization due to their financial strength and resource availability, while smaller firms require strategic alliances to enhance resilience. These results highlight the critical role of optimizing labor, technology, and organizational size to strengthen resilience in a volatile and high-risk sector like aviation. The study concludes that prioritizing capacity utilization strategies, alongside leveraging organizational size, can enhance the adaptability and risk management capabilities of aviation firms in Nigeria. Recommendations include workforce training, technological innovation, strategic resource planning, and leveraging organizational size for improved resilience.

Full textAbstract:
Background: The World Health Organization-endorsed Robson Ten-Group Classification System (TGCS) is a standard reporting mechanism for cesarean birth, yet this approach is not widely adopted in the United States. Objective: To describe the application and utility of the TGCS to compare hospital-level cesarean births rates, for use in quality improvement and benchmarking. Methods: We conducted a descriptive, secondary data analysis of the Consortium on Safe Labor dataset using data from 228 438 women's births, from 2002 to 2008, in 12 sites across the United States. We stratified births into 10 mutually exclusive groups and calculated within-group proportions of group size and cesarean birth rates for between-hospital comparisons of cesarean birth, trial of labor after cesarean (TOLAC), and labor induction utilization. Results: There is variation in use of cesarean birth, labor induction, and TOLAC across the 12 sites. Conclusion: The TGCS provides a method for between-hospital comparisons, particularly for revealing usage patterns of labor induction, TOLAC, and cesarean birth. Adoption of the TGCS in the United States would provide organizations and quality improvement leaders with an effective benchmarking tool to assist in reducing the use of cesarean birth and increasing the support of TOLAC.

Full textAbstract:
Wage growth and consumer price inflation in the United States remain weak, despite robust labor market and a healthy economy. This has been a conundrum for policymakers and economists alike, albeit it is not without parallels. In this paper, we analyze recent trends in the labor market. We point out that a number of indicators are providing mixed signals about the tight labor market, including wage growth that has remained muted, vacancy duration rates that have stayed remarkable stable in certain sectors, and the rate of capacity utilization, which is cyclically low and out of sync with other measures of resource utilization (e.g., output gap and unemployment rate). This leads us to conclude that there could be other forces that explain these phenomena. In this paper, we focus on capacity utilization and contend that low capacity utilization rates are the outcome of strategic decision-making by corporations, rather than inefficient demand, which permits firms to manage their resources more effectively. It seems to be particularly important when economic and policy uncertainties are elevated, such as in the post-financial crisis environment. More flexible use of capacity has implications not only for the labor market, but also for investments. Understanding capacity utilization would contribute to monetary policy formulation when the signal coming from the rate of capacity utilization is not consistent with those coming from the labor market and the output gap. This points to the need to continue monitor a broad range of indicators to avoid potential policy errors.

Construction work needs to be controlled for its performance through productivity calculations in order to achieve optimal cost and time. Marble covering work has a considerable weight. However, studies discussing the calculation of labor productivity for marble covering work are still few. This study aims to determine the value of productivity, coefficients, and productivity levels of labor (Labor Utilization Rate) in completing the installation of marble coverings using the wet method for floor coverings and the dry method for wall coverings with parallel patterns and diagonal patterns. The study used a work sampling method with a productivity rating approach. Primary data were collected by sampling the volume of marble covers of 482.400 m² and observations on labor groups consisting of craftsmen and helpers in predetermined zones. Furthermore, analysis was carried out using quantitative techniques of parametric inferential statistical type where the data was confirmed to be normally distributed using SPSS software. The results showed that the labor productivity of marble floor coverings was 9.896 m² / day with a coefficient of craftsman and helper of 0.101 each and a Labor Utilization Rate of 58%. Second, the labor productivity of parallel pattern marble wall coverings is 12.589 m²/day with a coefficient of craftsman and helper of 0.159 each and a Labor Utilization Rate of 57%. The labor productivity of diagonal pattern marble wall coverings was 1,549 m²/day with the efficiency of craftsman and helper of 0.646 and the Labor Utilization Rate of 55%, respectively. The results showed that the labor of marble cover work is quite productive because it has a productivity level above 50%.

Full textAbstract:
Background Globally, obstructed labour accounted for 22% of maternal morbidities and up to 70% of perinatal deaths. It is one of the most common preventable causes of maternal and perinatal mortality in low-income countries. However, there are limited studies on the determinants of obstructed labor in Ethiopia. Therefore, this study was conducted to assess determinants and outcomes of obstructed labor among women who gave birth in Hawassa University Hospital, Ethiopia. Methods A hospital-based case-control study design was conducted in Hawassa University Hospital among 468 women. All women who were diagnosed with obstructed labour and two consecutive controls giving birth on the same day were enrolled in this study. A pretested data extraction tool was used for data collection from the patient charts. Multivariable logistic regression was employed to identify determinants of obstructed labor. Results A total of 156 cases and 312 controls were included with an overall response rate of 96.3%. Women who were primipara [AOR 0.19; 95% CI 0.07, 0.52] and multigravida [AOR 0.17; 95% CI 0.07, 0.41] had lower odds of obstructed labour. While contracted pelvis [AOR 3.98; 95% CI 1.68, 9.42], no partograph utilization [AOR 5.19; 95% CI 1.98, 13.6], duration of labour above 24 hours [AOR 7.61; 95% CI 2.98, 19.8] and estimated distance of 10 to 50 kilometers from the hospital [AOR 3.89; 95% CI 1.14, 13.3] had higher odds. Higher percentage of maternal (65.2%) and perinatal (60%) complications occurred among cases (p-value < 0.05). Obstructed labour accounted for 8.3% of maternal deaths and 39.7% of stillbirth. Uterine rupture, post-partum haemorrhage and sepsis were the common adverse outcomes among cases. Conclusion Parity, contracted pelvis, non-partograph utilization, longer duration of labour and longer distance from health facilities were determinants of obstructed labour. Maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality due to obstructed labour are higher. Therefore, improvement of partograph utilization to identify complications early, birth preparedness, complication readiness and provision of timely interventions are recommended to prevent such complications.

Full textAbstract:
Background. Obstructed or prolonged labor is a major cause of maternal deaths. Prolonged and obstructed labor contributed to 13% of global maternal deaths which can be reduced by proper utilization of a partograph during labor. Obstetric caregivers’ use of the partograph during labor has paramount importance in identifying any deviation during labor. Even though partograph use is influenced by different factors as obtained from the literatures, the magnitude of partograph utilization and the factors associated with its use are not well determined in the health facilities of Wolaita Zone. Objective. To assess the magnitude of partograph utilization and factors that affect its utilization among obstetric caregivers in public health facilities of Wolaita Zone, Ethiopia, 2017. Methods. An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted on obstetric caregivers. A pretested and structured questionnaire was used to collect data. Data was entered to EpiData version 3.01 and exported to SPSS version 23.0 for further analysis. Logistic regression analyses were used to see the association of different variables. Result. A total of 269 obstetric caregivers participated in the study. Among those who were utilizing the partograph, 193 (71.7%) routinely used it for all laboring mothers and 76 (28.3%) of participants reported that they do not routinely utilize it. Greater number of service years (AOR=4.93, 95% CI: 1.53-15.88), on-the-job training (AOR=0.16, 95% CI: 0.06-0.43), good knowledge (AOR=3.35, 95% CI: 1.61-6.97), and favorable attitude towards partograph utilization (AOR=2.99, 95% CI: 1.28-7.03) were significantly associated with partograph utilization. Conclusion and Recommendation. Partograph utilization among obstetric caregivers in the public health facilities was good. Greater years of work experience, in-service training, having good knowledge, and favorable attitude towards partograph utilization among obstetric caregivers independently determined partograph utilization. Provision of on-the-job training to make obstetric caregivers improve knowledge and skill on partograph utilization, maintaining caregivers’ retention to decrease turnover by providing different incentives to more experienced obstetric care providers, and establishing favorable attitude could improve the proper use of the tool.

Full textAbstract:
The unique Karst landforms in Southwest China led to fragile soil structures and erosion, compounded by the large-scale non-agricultural transfer of the rural labor force. This study employed a two-way fixed effects model to analyze the impact of rural labor mobility on the green utilization efficiency of cultivated land, controlling for unobservable individual and time-specific factors. Mediation analysis examined how changes in planting structure influenced this relationship, considering labor force structure heterogeneity. Results revealed a U-shaped relationship, with rural labor mobility initially causing a short-term decline in efficiency but leading to a long-term increase. The mechanism of action showed that rural labor mobility indirectly affected efficiency by altering planting structures; specifically, increased replanting frequency had a partial mediating effect (0.158), while a “grain-oriented” focus masked the effect (0.067). Additionally, an aging workforce and low education levels negatively impacted green utilization efficiency, complicating the situation in the Karst region. To enhance green utilization of cultivated land, it is essential to protect migrant farmers’ rights, improve agricultural labor quality, promote industrial upgrades, and adjust planting structures. These strategies will guide regional agriculture and ensure sustainable land resource use.

Labor productivity is the main parameter in the success of a construction job. This study aims to analyze the level of productivity and the level of Labor Utilization Rate (LUR) in plastering work using the work sampling method, and the most effective time correlation between morning and afternoon. This research was conducted by direct observation for 3 days. The results showed that the highest productivity value was 14.30 m²/hour in the afternoon, and the lowest productivity value was 6.86 m²/hour in the morning. The Labor Utilization Rate (LUR) values in the morning and afternoon were 57.9% and 65.9%, indicating that the afternoon time was more effective than the morning time. However, there was a significant difference in productivity between morning and afternoon time overall, and it can still be categorized as effective with a Labor Utilization Rate (LUR) value of 61.9%, which exceeds 50%.

Full textAbstract:
The World Health Organization (WHO) has recommended Partograph as a labor management tool due to its impact in reducing obstetric labor complications and maternal deaths over the years. This labor management tool is inexpensive and appropriate for use in low-resource settings, particularly in developing countries. Despite the fact that many African countries, including Ethiopia, Kenya, and Nigeria, have adopted the Partograph in labor management, there is little information on midwives' knowledge on the use of the tool in labor management. Understanding of how to use a Partograph is essential for reducing complications and maternal deaths. The purpose of this study was to determine midwives' knowledge on using the Partograph in labor management. The study adopted a cross sectional survey design. 45 midwives were randomly selected from 16 public health facilities in Tharaka Nithi County. Questionnaires were used to collect data. Focused Group Discussions were also conducted with 77 postnatal mothers who gave birth in the 16 health facilities. The collected data was analyzed using descriptive statistics (means, frequencies, and percentages) and Chi-Square tests. Thematic analysis was used to examine qualitative data. Results showed that 74% of midwives had used Partograph in labor monitoring, while 26% had never used the tool. 60% of the midwives had received Partograph training. Despite not having been trained, some midwives were using the Partograph. Findings revealed inconsistencies in the use of Partograph in labor management. A large proportion of midwives deviated from the WHO's recommended use of Partograph in the first stage of labor. The study recommended that the Tharaka Nithi County government, through the Ministry of Health, invest in Partograph utilization in-service training programs to provide nurses and midwives working in the maternity wing the necessary knowledge and skills for proper Partograph utilization. There is also a need for policy changes in institutions to ensure that nurses use of the Partograph as a strategy for reducing maternal mortality rates, improving motherhood, and labor management in the County.

Background. In low-income countries, pain-free labor initiative is an emerging concept and still parturient undergoes through painful labor; this is not different in Ethiopia; despite the national direction to use analgesia for labor pain and strong demand from the women, evidence on utilization of obstetric analgesia for labor pain management in Ethiopia is scarce. The objective of this study was to assess level of obstetric analgesia utilization and associated factors among obstetric care providers in public hospitals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Methods. An institution-based cross-sectional study was used. All obstetric care providers working in labor and delivery units in public hospitals in Addis Ababa were included. The data were collected using a self-administered structured questionnaire. After checking for completeness, data were entered into Epi-data 3.1 and analyzed using SPSS 20. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regressions were used to identify factors associated with utilization of obstetric analgesia. Result. Of 391 obstetric care providers included in the study, 143 (36.6%; 95% CI: 31.5–40.9%) reported providing labor analgesia. Having adequate knowledge (AOR 2.7; 95% CI: 1.37–5.23), ten and more years of work experience (AOR 4.3; 95% CI: 1.81–10.13), and availability of analgesics (AOR 3.3; 95% CI: 1.99–5.53) were significantly associated with providing labor analgesia. Conclusion. Slightly more than 3 in 10 obstetric care providers reported providing labor analgesics to women.

Full textAbstract:
An increasing number of people are conscious of the environmental awareness in various industries, particularly in city areas. It is now a popular trend for the urban catering service industry to outsource its labor-intensive activities, such as dishwashing, to a central dishwashing facility, in which labor force management and optimization are essential. Moreover, the increasing labor cost and fluctuating labor supply drive the increasing need for labor force optimization. This research develops an in-plant logistics simulation model for a central dishwashing facility with the purpose of improving its labor force utilization rate. A discrete event simulation model is established to simulate the tableware washing process, and this model is employed in a one-stop environmentally hygienic dishwashing service provider for trial implementation. The simulation result has been compared with actual situations, identifies the main bottlenecks of the tableware washing process, optimizes the utilization rate of the labor force, and further helps to improve the productivity.

Background Partograph is a simple, inexpensive & economical tool that provides a continuous graphical overview of labour and prevents prolonged and obstructed labor. The purpose of the study is to assess partograph utilization and associated factors among obstetric care givers in governmental health institutions of Jigjiga and Degehabur Towns, Somali Region, Ethiopia. Methods An institution based cross-sectional quantitative study was carried out among obstetric care givers who were working in governmental health institutions. Systematic random sampling with proportional to size allocation was used to recruit a total of 235 study participants. Self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data in this study. Three data collectors and one supervisor were recruited and trained to facilitate the data collection activities. Data were entered into Epi data software and exported into SPSS (23.0) for analysis. Descriptive statistics, bivariate and multivariate logistic regression were computed to determine proportions and significant association with partograph utilization among obstetric care givers. Result Less than half of obstetric care givers, 41% (95%CI: 34.5–46.9) had good partograph utilization to monitor progress of labor. Being female [AOR = 2.36, 95%CI:(1.03–5.44)], availability of partograph [AOR = 4.633, 95%CI: (1.698–12.640)], having good knowledge [AOR = 6.90, 95%CI:(2.62–18.18)], receiving on job training [AOR = 15.46, 95%CI:(6.95–34.42)] and positive attitude towards partograph [AOR = 2.99, 95%CI:(1.25–7.14)] were significantly associated with partograph utilization. Conclusion Partograph utilization in this study was low. Especial emphasizes and interventions should be given to periodic on job training that improve knowledge and attitude of obstetric care givers to increase partograph utilization.

Full textAbstract:
Objectives: To address urgent staffing shortages, hospitals increasingly rely on agency labor. Given that staffing can significantly impact hospital performance, the aim of this study was to understand the organizational and market factors associated with agency labor utilization in US hospitals. Methods: Utilizing concepts from the Resource Dependence Theory (RDT), data for the calendar year 2022 for short-term acute care in United States hospitals (n = 2756) were analyzed with logistic regression analysis. We explored total agency labor expense (operationalized as a dichotomous variable at the 75th and 90th percentiles) in the presence of numerous organizational and market independent variables. Results: The results revealed that as markets become less complex (as measured by market concentration), the level of agency labor expense increases (β: 0.843, p < 0.001), while our chosen variables related to munificence (rural location; β: −1.634, p < 0.001) and dynamism (Medicare payor mix; β: −0.025, p < 0.001) were negatively associated with an increase in total agency labor expense. Conclusions: In general, our results appear to support the tenets of the RDT. We find that increased use of agency labor in hospitals is predicated on the hospital having the financial resources and flexibility to be able to afford the higher cost of agency labor.

Full textAbstract:
The present paper studies the influence of variable labor utilization on local indeterminacy and expectations-driven fluctuations, in one-sector models with (nearly) constant returns to scale. It is shown that, in comparison to the configuration of constant input utilization, considering variable utilization reduces the actual possibilities of factor substitution and, consequently, the range of input substitution elasticities that are compatible with endogenous fluctuations. In particular, local indeterminacy and expectations-driven fluctuations occur only if utilization rates are sufficiently inelastic, whereas local determinacy prevails when utilization is highly elastic. However, accounting for the fact that variable utilization reduces theeffectiveelasticity of capital/labor substitution leads us to argue that expectations-driven fluctuations are more plausible because they require larger elasticities ofapparentinput substitution. In contrast with the recent literature, the analysis does not rely on significantly increasing returns to scale in production. Accordingly, the results are not at variance with recent empirical studies emphasizing the importance of variable utilization and denying the evidence of large increasing returns.

The objective of this study was to determine the level of technical, allocative, and economic efficiency in the utilization of production factors in shallot cultivation in Toronrejo Village, Junrejo District, Batu City. Data analysis was performed using Cobb-Douglas analysis. The results showed that the utilization of production factors simultaneously affected the production of shallots. The utilization of production factors of organic fertilizer partially affected the production of shallots. The average efficiency value of utilizing inputs such as land, seeds, organic fertilizer, inorganic fertilizer, labor, capital, and pesticides was 0.9981566. This means that the utilization of production factors must be technically efficient. The efficiency values of production factors such as land, seeds, organic fertilizers, and capital are greater than 1, which means that the means of production were not allocatively efficient. The use of production factors such as inorganic fertilizers, labor, and pesticides have efficiency values of less than 1, which means that they were not allocatively efficient. The production factors of land, seeds, organic fertilizers, and pesticides are not financially efficient, and inorganic fertilizers, labor, and capital are also not financially efficient.

Background: Delay in institutional delivery refers to the time interval from the first onset of labour to start receiving the first healthcare. This study aimed to assess the associated factors of the maternal delays for institutional delivery service utilization in Selected Gamo Zone Health Centres, Southern Ethiopia in 2019. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted in rural districts of the Gamo zone. A total of 394 postnatal mothers were selected by simple random sampling. The Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) was used to examine associations between outcome maternal delay time and independent variables. Results: The mean age of respondents was 29 years (range from 19 to 40 years). Out of the total 391 mothers, 266 (68.03%) were unemployed and 125 (31.97%) were employed. The unemployed mother had Exp (0.5572) = 1.75 times higher odds of being maternal delay compared to employed. Similarly, mothers whose poor knowledge on danger signs of labor and childbirth had Exp (0.5216) = 1.68 times higher odds of being maternal delay as compared to whose good knowledge. The odds of being the husband decision maker for institutional delivery service utilization (Exp (0.8006) =2.23) times higher odds of being maternal delay compared to jointly. Conclusions: The maternal delay time is significantly determined by the mother’s occupation, number of children, final decision maker for institutional delivery service utilization, mother’s knowledge on danger signs of labor and childbirth and delay time. However, variables religion, residence, mother’s education, previous pregnancy related problem, ANC follow-up, and birth preparedness had no significant effect on maternal delay. Therefore, due attention needs to be given to encourage unemployed mothers, promoting couples in involvement in decision making for institutional delivery service utilization, enhancing education on family planning and creating awareness on danger signs of labor and childbirth.

This study investigates the relationship between labor use and food security among rural maize farmers in Abuja Metropolis, Nigeria. Using a two-stage sampling procedure, 125 maize farmers were selected from various villages within the study area to participate. A structured questionnaire was employed to gather data, focusing on labor allocation, food security metrics, and socio-economic variables. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, a food security index, and a probit regression model. Findings indicate that maize farmers in Abuja Metropolis utilize both hired and family labor, with varying implications for household food security. Specifically, higher reliance on family labor tends to enhance food security, whereas increased dependence on hired labor correlates with decreased food security among rural farming households. Based on these findings, the study recommends several interventions to improve food security in the region. These include enhancing access to credit facilities for farming households, promoting agricultural engagement among youth to alleviate dependency on non-agricultural jobs, and advocating for family planning initiatives to manage household size, thereby mitigating food insecurity risks associated with larger families. This research contributes to the understanding of labor dynamics in agricultural settings and offers practical insights for policymakers, governmental agencies, and non-governmental organizations aiming to strengthen food security initiatives in similar contexts.

Background and Objective Obstetric pain is one of the most severe forms of pain a woman may experience during childbirth. Due to the debilitating effects of excruciating labor discomfort, pain management continues to be an important issue that requires attention. This study assessed the knowledge and utilization of obstetric analgesia in labor-management among midwives in public healthcare facilities in the north-central region of Nigeria. Methods This study used a descriptive cross-sectional design. One hundred twenty-three respondents who met the inclusion criteria were selected using the purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using a pretested structured questionnaire. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics at a 0.05 level of significance. Results The results revealed that the respondents’ overall knowledge of obstetric analgesia was adequate. The findings also revealed that more than half of the midwives have previously utilized obstetric analgesia to manage labor pain. However, the frequency of utilization of obstetric analgesia was low. A significant association was found between utilization of obstetric analgesia in labor and knowledge (χ2 = 16.582, p < 0.001) as well as years of experience (χ2 = 17.280, p < 0.015) and nursing rank (χ2 = 36.579, p < 0.000); since the p-value < 0.05 significance. Conclusion and Global Health Implications Therefore, it was recommended that midwives should be encouraged to frequently utilize obstetric analgesia to manage labor pain in order to improve the birth experience and outcome and to prevent the adverse effects that come with severe labor pain. Furthermore, the government should create policies that favor the utilization of obstetric analgesia in parturition, and midwives should incorporate the benefits of obstetric analgesia into the health education of pregnant women during antenatal counseling to promote its usage.

China, as the biggest developing country, meanwhile is the major labour exporting and importing country, expanding cross-border labour cooperation with countries in Northeast Asia will have a positive effect on promoting the development and utilization of human resources in China and improving employment and social management policies. How to grasp the opportunities in foreign labor service cooperation and avoid potential risks is a test of Chinese wisdom. Conclusion. China should be well prepared in four aspects when dealing with cross-border labour cooperation in Northeast Asia. Establishing regional cooperation scheme and management security system; Setting up a linkage mechanism for foreign management of expatriate labor, protection and privileges protection from a micro perspective. Cultivating high quality labour resources and improving recruitment of high-tech experts. Discovering the potential of service trade and upgrading the level of cooperation is conducive to the export of high skilled labor force.

The agricultural sector is one of the important sectors for the Indonesian economy. Coffee is one of the commodities produced from the plantation sub-sector included in the agricultural sector which also contributes greatly to the Indonesia economy, especially as a source of foreign exchange, employment and income sources as well as other economic actors. This study aims to determine whether the factors of land area production, number of productive trees, farming costs and labour used by coffee farmers are elastic or inelastic to coffee production. Samples were taken as many as 400 coffee farmers spread in four districts namely North Toraja Regency, Enrekang Regency, Sinjai Regency and Bantaeng Regency, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Data collected in the form of primary data and secondary data. The analysis used the Cobb-Douglass production function. The results show that the use of production factors; land area, number of productive trees, farming costs and labor are inelastic to coffee production, the scale of farming follows the rules of increasing return to scale. Therefore, it is expected that the support of local government (related institutions) to assist coffee farmers in providing superior seeds to increase coffee production, farmers incomes and reduce land conversion.

Full textAbstract:
The Giant Panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) is a flagship species for endangered wildlife conservation and is a specific relic species in China. Its habitat conservation has received widespread attention around the world. Since 2010, the phenomenon of an aging labor force gradually appeared within the Giant Panda Nature Reserve and its surrounding communities. Under the new labor force structure, households’ resource utilization behavior has had different characteristics, which has led an evolution in giant panda habitats. This study is based on a questionnaire and geographic data. It reveals the internal mechanisms of households’ resource utilization behavior impacting giant panda habitat patterns under the ongoing trend of labor force aging. The study shows that labor force aging has promoted rising ecological niche widths and falling ecological niche overlaps. These could drive a growth in giant panda habitat globally. From a spatial perspective, nature reserves with lower comprehensive ecological niche widths and higher ecological niche overlaps face greater conflict between conservation and development. However, the phenomenon of labor force aging mitigates these ecological conflicts to a certain extent.
