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.'
