abstract: 'The rapid growth and transformation of global food value chains has
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
stimulated the development of rural labour markets and has important
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
consequences for rural poverty reduction. While this transformation can
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
be associated with substantial rural employment creation, there is still
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
debate on the inclusiveness and quality of these jobs. We provide
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
quantitative evidence on the inclusiveness of wage employment in the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
horticultural sector in Senegal and on the quality of this employment
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and disparities among vulnerable groups of workers. Using survey data
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
from 525 workers, 392 hired workers in agro-industrial companies and 133
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
workers on small-scale farms, we assess the inclusiveness of employment
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
towards female, young and migrant workers, and compare the quality of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employment between these different groups of workers. The quality of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employment is assessed through wages and a decent work index that
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
captures multiple wage and non-wage dimensions of job quality. We use
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
bivariate and multivariate analyses to examine the quality of employment
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and a decomposition analysis to explain wage gaps. Results suggest that
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
job quality is better in the agro-industry than on small-scale farms. We
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
find that the agroindustry is inclusive towards migrant, female and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
young workers, but that disparities in job quality exist within and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
across companies. Results illustrate substantial gender wage gaps across
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
companies, but not within companies, and a lower likelihood of having
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
decent employment among migrant and young workers. Our results suggest
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
that wage gaps can be explained by differences in job characteristics,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and are not directly based on workers'' gender, age or migrant
