Abstract
Sustainable livelihood framework has been developed and used by several authors, organizations and studies. The purpose of the paper is to explore missing factors in the livelihood sustainable framework in previous studies. The result of reviewing and synthesis shows that the role of market has unliklely been exploited in the framework whereas most livelihoods is currently depending on the market system. Therefore, the market role has been integrated in the framework when traditional sustainable livelihood framework and supply chains analysis have been combined.
