Abstract
The rural segments are going through intense changes in their scenarios.
Brazilian agriculture and cattle raising sectors, due to exports and production growth
for the domestic market, contribute to job growth. However, due to technological
changes and advancement of the urbanization, a change in the dynamics of labor in
this sector has occurred, modifying their internal relations of production. In this context
of changes, this paper analyzes the quality of employment in Brazilian agriculture in
the years 1990-2010. Using data from the Relação Anual de Informações Sociais,
from Ministry of Labor and Employment, the Formal Employment Quality Index
was estimated in the agriculture sector in the period 1990-2010. Results demonstrate
an advance in education, wage contraction and high standards of turnover, indicating
replacement of labor in this segment.
