Abstract: The study's primary objective is to ascertain rural women's level of engagement in household agricultural activities at Dhamrai upazila, Dhaka district, and to analyze the relationships between selected characteristics of rural women and their level of engagement in household agricultural activities. The research is being undertaken in two villages inside the Kulla union, namely Chandrail and Sastapur. Between August 20 and September 20, 2020, data were gathered from 100 rural women utilizing a pre-tested interview schedule. To quantify the factors in the investigation, precise scales were developed. Correlation(s) tests were utilized to identify the relationships between the independent variables and the study's dependent variable. The findings indicated that the majority of rural women (73 percent) had a moderate level of participation in domestic agricultural activities, compared to 20% and 7% who had a low level of engagement and 7% who had a high level of engagement, respectively. Correlation analysis revealed that seven of nine independent variables, namely farm size, family income, cosmopoliteness, extension contact, agricultural training, knowledge about homestead agricultural activities, and attitude toward dwelling agricultural activities, had a significant positive relationship with rural women's participation in dwelling agricultural activities. The other two factors, namely the rural women's age and education level, exhibited no significant link with their engagement in household agricultural operations. The PCI ranked 'lack of necessary agricultural land' first, followed by 'lack of adequate fertilizers', 'lack of proper knowledge', 'lack of proper capital', 'lack of quality seeds', 'lack of extension workers', 'lack of adequate insecticides', 'lack of marketing opportunities', and 'lack of communication facilities'.

Abstract: Based on the city panel data of 11 provinces (cities) in the Yangtze River Economic Belt from 2011 to 2019, this paper constructs a comprehensive evaluation index system for digital economy from three levels: digital infrastructure, digital industry development and digital inclusive finance, and empirically studies the impact mechanism of digital economy on regional economic gaps from the spatial perspective using the spatial Dubin model (SDM) and mediation effect test method The regional heterogeneity test method was used to test the effect of digital economy on a regional economic gap. The research shows that the relationship between the digital economy and the regional economic gap has a significant spatial correlation, the digital economy has a significant inhibitory effect on the expansion of the regional economic gap in the Yangtze River Economic Belt and a negative spatial spillover effect, but there are regional differences in impact, the upper reaches of the Yangtze River Economic Belt have the most significant inhibition effect, the middle reaches of the region the inhibition effect is not obvious, and the improvement of the digital economy level in the improvement of the digital economy level in the downstream areas has expanded the regional economic gap; The secondary industry agglomeration economy has a partial intermediary effect, and the proportion of the intermediary effect to the total effect is 20.18%, which expands the research of the digital economy on the regional economic integration of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, and has certain reference significance for promoting the development. The proportion of the intermediary effect to the total effect is 20.18%, which expands the research of the digital economy on the regional economic integration of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, and has certain reference significance for promoting the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt regional coordination and narrowing the regional economic gap.
