It has been a general pattern in the past that, as countries climb up the development ladder,
the relative weight of the agricultural sector is reduced, whether it is measured as its
contribution to the total GDP or as the proportion of the workforce that it employs (Lobao and
Meyer 2001). In developing countries in particular, this agrarian transition is deeply gendered.
The rapid rise in industry and services and urbanization, involving both a change in migratory patterns and agrarian transitions, the two often combined, follows gender lines. Men migrate
first, for longer periods and to further destinations, in part because of social norms concerning
gender roles, and in part because of their higher levels of education, on average, that allow
them to seek off-farm employment. Because they they face fewer mobility and time
constraints than women, men are more likely to abandon agricultural work at home and seek
waged employment on large farms, or income-generating activies in other sectors.
