Description
Summary:In this research, we analyse the most important transformations of family work based on the results obtained through semi-structured interviews with farmers of four villages representative of olive growing in Andalucia. This work shows how the processes of economical restructuring experienced by this crop have made the work of the family head to become of great importance in the contribution of the exploitation of the family work, and thus members of the family are pushed to look for working alternatives. We also study the way in which many small farmers survive with the income obtained from other activities and the help of the rest of the members of the family. We also add a few notes about how these processes have also affected Latin America and particularly Mexico.
