“…Moreover, farmers are more enthused about getting the cooperative's unified technical guidance and planting management skills (MANDA et al, 2020;OLAGUNJU et al, 2021) and actively implement RPPW behavior, which can effectively reduce pesticide residues from the soil and water and ultimately improve product quality (JI et al, 2019;KUMAR et al, 2018). strengthen the members' network, peer effect, and group supervision, which affects the safe production behaviors of farmers (SI et al, 2021b;YU et al, 2021;ZHANG et al, 2020). Parallel to the study of ZUO et al (2018), andOFORI et al (2019), if the farmers don't select the RPPW, they will suffer moral condemnation and social pressure from other farmers.…”

The improper disposal of pesticide packaging wastes (PPW) has posed serious harm to the environment, including groundwater and soil pollution and even health concerns to the public. To address the environmental concerns and public health issues, there is a need to recycle the pesticides packaging waste (RPPW). Though small farmers in many developing countries have joined the cooperatives to reduce the production costs and increase the product premium, how these cooperatives improve farmers’ RPPW behaviors is still sparse. The current study used data collected from 725 apple farmers in Shaanxi and Gansu provinces of China to explore the phenomenon empirically. Recycling decisions and degree are used to portray the farmers’ RPPW behaviors. Firstly, the Logit model was used to analyze the effect of joining cooperatives on farmers’ recycling decisions. Further, to address the sample selection bias, the present study employed the propensity score matching (PSM) method for empirical analysis concerning the effect of joining cooperatives on farmers’ recycling degree. Results showed that joining cooperatives positively and significantly influences farmers’ recycling decisions. If farmers join a cooperative, the probability of the recycling decisions and degree will increase by 20.30% and 27.50%, respectively. Moreover, it is also found that some other factors such as education level, environmental and public health risk perception, peer effect, and relationship network also significantly influence farmers’ recycling decisions. Moreover, considering the differences in farmers’ gender, age, and educational attainment, the study unveiled the heterogeneous effects of joining cooperatives on farmers’ RPPW behaviors. The findings revealed that gender and age variables have noticeable masking effects while education level has a typical threshold effect. The overall findings provided insights for policymakers to emphasize the development of agricultural cooperatives, improve the risk and interest linkage mechanism, and build the RPPW system. These implications are also supportive for policymakers in other developing countries.

“…Poor economic development and severe resource constraints in rural areas prevent rural entrepreneurs, specifically, children-raising women, with family responsibilities added, from maximizing their usage of the benefits the Internet can offer for starting their own businesses (Erogul et al, 2019). A possible explanation for the discrepancy in the findings is that extant studies on the matter generally ignore the initiative and risk-tolerance of such women addressed above (Shepherd and Patzelt, 2011;Si et al, 2022b). Adding to this, they tend to shy away from mentioning the inclusiveness of Internet technology as well (Balagopal, 2020).…”

Female-entrepreneurship plays a significantly important role in rural areas of China today. In fact, it is a driving force behind inclusive economic development of the country as a whole. However, notably very little literature out there has focused on the impact of how widespread usage of information technology tools affects the mothers entrepreneurship in the outskirt regions. Here, in this paper, the authors attempt to explore the finer details of such an impact by utilizing the data from the 2017 China Integrated Social Survey; along with the IV-Probit model to explore the transmission mechanism. Interestingly enough, it was discovered that Internet applications and tools do indeed increase entrepreneurship among women with children by a roughly 7.88%. In addition, this paper finds that the utilization of such “InfoTech” promote a continuous progress in entrepreneurship among those women with children who endeavor to start a self-managed enterprise in the less developed areas. Lastly, when looking the analysis of the transmission mechanism, this paper found that the role of Internet-usage in promoting rural mothers entrepreneurship was mainly through three factors – the gender equality effect, the information learning effect, and the financing effect. This accumulated data will be thoroughly presented here in the ensuing sections.
