They constitute 54% of the total agricultural labour force
(see Table 46). However, this figure includes part-time
family workers and part-time day-labourers. If we consider
only the full-time labour force then men are slightly more
common in the labour force than women, constituting 52% of
the full-time work force. This difference is marginal and
women are just as important as men as a source of full-time
agricultural workers. However, we should not let this
quantitative parity blind us to qualitative differences in
the forms of work and burden of labour carried out in the
sexual division of labour, where women generally work harder
and longer, and normally have to work a double-shift in both
the commodity producing sector and the subsistence sector.
The situation is different with the labour supply of the
part-time labour force. Here we find an inverse relationship
between the gender of part-time family workers and part-time
day labourers. Men are the predominant category of part-time
family workers constituting three-fifths of the part-time
family workforce, while women constitute two-thirds of the
part-time day labour force.
Thus, the general quantitative picture which emerges is one
where women play a marginally more important role in the
aggregate labour force, men play a marginally more important
role in the full-time workforce. Men play the predominant
role in the part-time family labour force and women play the
predominant part in the part-time (seasonal) wage labour
force.
