Resumen
Descripción
In developing countries, women represent on average 43% of the agricultural workforce. This proportion ranges from about 20% in Latin America to at least 50% in East and South East Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, although this proportion varies between countries and regions. In most developing regions, agriculture is the main source of revenue for rural women. They earn less than men, even when they are more qualified, and receive a disproportionate amount of seasonal and part-time jobs.
