| Traditionally, the analysis of labor market adjustment refers to the interaction between the demand and the supply for labor, e.g., between employers and job seekers. The labor market is said to 'clear' when the wage and labor force participation adjust so that supply and demand are equal. However, it has been observed that the adjustment process in the agricultural casual labor market is often uneven and incomplete. This phenomenon has challenged economists to search for additional explanation of the workings of these markets (see for example Rosenzweig, 1986; Binswanger and Rosenzweig, 1981). Our study contributes to the literature by examining this issue using a Chilean data set collected by one of the authors in which pronounced seasonality is evident... |

| Using data from the Canadian Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics (SLID) for the period 1993-1996, we examine patterns and determinants of labour force transitions of adequately employed and underemployed workers in an attempt to explore whether employment dynamics significantly differ between rural and urban workers so as to disadvantage rural economic performance. The results indicate that rural underemployed workers in Canada are, in the short run (year-to-year transitions) equally likely to enter adequate employment as adequately employed individuals are to enter underemployment. Further, we also found there is weak evidence that education level of rural workers has a lower impact on the probability of moving out of underemployment than in urban... |

| Modern fruit sector development in Chile led to agricultural employment for women, though usually only as temporary workers and often at a piece rate. Nonetheless, fruit sector employment offered women access to income and personal fulfillment previously lacking. This paper links the fruit sector to improving female and family economic welfare in rural Chile and changing gender relations. Using a unique longitudinal data set, we examine women's decisions regarding labor force participation and employment, their earnings and contributions to household income, and their attitudes toward employment to understand how new opportunities are changing women, their households, and the rural sector. |

| En este artículo se analiza, a partir de datos de una encuesta realizada en 2008 a una muestra de la población rural femenina de Andalucía, los efectos del empleo femenino sobre la distribución de la renta familiar. Los resultados muestran la significativa contribución del salario femenino al conjunto del hogar, contribución que se incrementa de forma especial en los hogares de menores ingresos, lo que confirma la importancia del empleo de la mujer para equilibrar las rentas de en las familias rurales. También se muestra en este trabajo que, a pesar de la aparentemente indiscutible contribución al bienestar de los ingresos de la economía familiar de estas mujeres, su empleo tiende a ser altamente vulnerable/precario, con alto grado de estacionalidad y sin... |
