Abstract

This study examines the income essentials of artisans in Bamyan, Afghanistan, centering on two essential purposes: distinguishing contrasts in monthly income among different artisans and analyzing the correlation between artisans' years of experience and their monthly income. Utilizing a quantitative survey method, the data were collected from 63 artisans over three bazaars in Bamyan City. The findings reveal that most artisans gain less than 5,000 AFN monthly, showing considerable financial challenges within the segment. Furthermore, whereas no statistical differences in income were found among the different artisan types, a positive correlation was identified between years of experience and monthly income, proposing that expanded experience contributes to higher profit. These findings emphasize the necessity for targeted interventions to upgrade artisans' financial stability.
