Living Standards

Analyse why low income farmers are likely to have low living standards. [6] by Zabian Omar

As they have low income the farmers will have less disposable income which they use to buy goods and services that can improve his quality of life such as a phone as can only afford the essentials.

Farming doesn't require an education, thus the farmer  may never have gone to school and learned. This makes him occupationally immobile and he is stuck doing  farming or low paying labour intensive work.

Furthermore, his low income means he may not be able to afford healthcare, so if he was injured when working he may never recover not be able to work  leading to homelessness and low standard of living.
