capitalist exploitation and this limited development of the
wage labour relation in agriculture 1s restricted to the
harvest period. The amount of farm income expended on the
employment of wage labour does not account for a significant
portion of the annual farm budget.
If we consider the class specific picture of the constitution
of the aggregate labour force we find that, 68% of the total
labour force are employed in the sharecropping sector, 3% in
the farming-shepherd sector, 9% in the cash tenancy sector
and 18% in the smallholding sector. If we look at gender in
terms of the different sectors and in terms of the different
categories of workers, we find that the sharecropping sector
has the closest approximation to gender parity in terms of
the number of full-time family workers engaged in labour
activity, with 51% of full-time family workers being male and
49% female. In the other sectors men are marginally more
common in the full-time family workforce than women, with 58%
of full-time family workers in farming-~-shepherding, 57% in
cash tenancy and 54% in smallholding. However, these
differences are not great and it points to the fact that
women are just as important as men in the full-time family
workforce as men in all agrarian class sectors.
The situation is different for the labour supply of part-time
family workers. Males are the more important unit of labour
supply in the part-time family workforce, accounting for 65%
of part-time family workers in cash tenancy, 62% in
smallholding, 59% in sharecropping and 54% in farming-
