Zusammenfassung (übersetzt):
The text discusses the evolution of agricultural labor from 2012 to 2023. The relevant decrease in agricultural occupations during this period has motivated the authors to study the evolution of agricultural occupations by disaggregating them by position in the occupation and macro-regions of Brazil. The analysis was carried out based on microdata from the Continuous National Households Sample Survey (PNAD Continuous), carried out by the IBGE. It was found that most of the decrease in occupations during the period under analysis occurred among the categories Self-employed and Auxiliary family worker, which for agricultural occupations predominantly configure occupations inherent to family farming. In addition, it was observed that the Northeast region was the one that presented the greatest drops in agricultural occupations in general and among Self-employed and Auxiliary family workers in particular. The study highlights that the Northeast region suffered a severe drought between 2012 and 2017, which may have influenced agricultural labor, especially in the context of family farming.
