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

  background. (C) 2021 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.'
