Abstract: As countries experience structural and rural transformations, people move out of agriculture into manufacturing and services. Some places report a “feminization of agriculture” where men disproportionately move out of agriculture, increasing the share of farmers who are women. In other areas, women are moving out of agriculture at a faster rate than men. These changes in labor patterns have implications both for the individuals who move out of agriculture as well as those who remain. Drawing on high quality harmonized data that includes countries across the income distribution, we analyze the changes in the gendered patterns of labor both on the extensive and intensive margins.
