Precariedad objetiva y subjetiva en el trabajo rural : nuevas evidencias

Abstract

This paper synthesizes the more relevant findings of several researchers on precarious rural labor at Uruguay, in studies done in the past decade. We summarize the principal characteristics of precarious labor maintaining that a precarious laborer is not only one that is measured as such by objective indicators but it is also a situation in which the laborer feels that he is precarious. Two samples of rural laborers are studied with empirical data: sheep-shearers and citrus harvesters. Moving forward three more recent studies (done with a similar theoretical approach) on rural laborers are summarized. These studies confirm some of the latter findings while sheding light on new and different aspects of precarious labor not sufficiently considered before.
