Abstract

Faced with the globalization of economic activities in world agriculture, it is important to analyze and verify the behavior of the labor market in the main world players: United States, China, India and Brazil. Thus, this article has the general objective of characterizing, collecting, analyzing and exploring data and indicators of the Brazilian agricultural labor market and comparing it with other countries that compete with Brazil in the international market of agricultural products. This article is characterized as an exploratory research with a quantitative approach, through the collection of information from the ILO, FAO and CEPEA database. It was found that among the main world players there is still an uneven development of labor in the field. For the United States, Brazil and India, male labor predominates to the detriment of female labor in the agricultural sector. It was also possible to observe a significant increase in the number of workers with higher qualifications in the market, as in the case of the United States and Brazil, but there is still a greater permanence of workers with a basic to intermediate level in the field.
