abstract: 'Rwanda''s development policy focuses on socio-economic transformation
with a specific focus on the agriculture sector and gender equality.
Through the commercialization of agriculture, employment opportunities
inside and outside the sector are expected to be created. Both women and
men are integrated into this new agriculture production system. Based on
a mixed-method approach, this paper provides insights into current
transformations of the rural labour market. The feminization debates
build the theoretical background. The empirical results show that wage
employment is created almost exclusively in the informal sector,
typically for casual on-field agriculture workers. It is apparent that
for the same work, women earn approximately 20\% less than men. Women
play an important role in the rural labour market while carrying the
main bulk of reproductive work. The agricultural transformation is
gendered, and due to reproductive work, women do not have the same
opportunities in the paid labour market.'
