Abstract: This paper investigates the evolution and quality of rural employment of residents in Minas Gerais urban and rural sector. The focus was the megaregions of Minas Gerais, distinguished by their degree of modernization, in coffee, sugarcane and corn crops, involving different types of agricultural employees. For that purpose, data from the Demographic Census of 2000´s and 2010´s, the 2006 Census of Agriculture and the Municipal Agricultural Survey (PAM) were used for general analysis and construction of the Employment Quality Index (IQE), which took as construction reference the methodology developed by Kageyama and Rehder (1993) and Balsadi (2000). We analyzed Triângulo Mineiro and Alto Paranaíba, Noroeste de Minas, Jequitinhonha, Vale do Mucuri and Rio Doce e Zona da Mata megaregions. The results showed a decrease in the total rural employment and that more modernized mesoregions tend to have a higher quality of employment, as well as the greater presence of qualified employees, in contrast to the less modernized mesoregions, where most of employees are not qualified staff. In this context, modernization may be reinforcing inequalities by being more applied in favor of more modernized regions.
