Abstract

This paper analyzes the entrance of men and women into the rural labor market and generates earning equations for the Brazilian rural areas in 2007 with the PNAD microdata. The Heckman procedure is adopted to avoid selectivity bias. Results had also shown the Brazilian rural labor market. Besides the fact that female workers on average have a higher level of qualification than male workers, male's earnings are higher than the female's. Women that receive the governmental transfer program Bolsa Família , tend to offer less work in the rural labor market.
