RURAL LABOR FORCE MARKET IN MEXICO

There are diverse types of workers in the agricultural sector in Mexico, Armando Bartra (1976) differentiates the agricultural day laborers from the peasants from the relationship between their salaried work and their work as a producer, that is, defines the agricultural laborer as of its peasant origin. This is, the agricultural day laborer is that salaried worker in the field who has not totally disengaged from the livelihood that he has, this leads him to sell his labor force, below its value, since its reproduction does not depend only on his salary obtained but also what he produces as a farmer. As of 1994, the tendency towards the proletarianization of agricultural laborers was intensified, that is, they left their lands and completely dissociated from producing their own land.
