Abstract

The size distribution of income within the agricultural sector, in Brazil, is
analised, considering the weekly working time of each economically active person and his
classification as employee, employer, or autonomous worker. The data basis is the 1980
Demographic Census. The results show the importance of that classification in the determination
of the overall inequality of the income distribution in the agricultural sector.

JEL Classification: J22; J21; J31.
