“…We use a rich data set that includes property, household, and individual information. We collected the data for the case study through in‐person interviews in July through September 2003; we used multistage stratified random sampling to select farm properties (D'Antona and VanWey ; VanWey and Cebulko ). On each selected property, we interviewed the farm owner(s).…”

“…At the time of our data collection in 2003, the region was experiencing a soy boom, which is restructuring rural and urban labor markets. The growth of an export‐oriented soy sector is facilitating the shift from an area dominated by family agriculture to one characterized by mechanized, large‐farm agriculture (D'Antona and VanWey ). National policies and regional actors have played a key role in the expansion of paid work in the area.…”

This article analyzes off‐farm work among subsistence‐level farmers in the Santarém region of the Brazilian Amazon. We build on the literature on rural livelihoods in the Global South by exploring how the opportunity to work off the farm is embedded in social relationships. We additionally differentiate our analysis by type of off‐farm work, and examine how other characteristics such as human capital, the available labor supply, and access to infrastructure vary by work outcome. In general, the factors that contribute to more secure, relatively higher‐paying work differ from those important in understanding patterns of lower‐paying, daily wage work. We find that on‐farm social capital, measured as the presence of a co‐resident on the property who works off the farm, increases an individual's probability of working off the farm, but has a stronger effect for lower‐wage work. We also find that the farm owner's relationship to households on the farm property plays a significant role in predicting patterns of off‐farm work. These findings suggest that social capital plays an important role in providing access to employment and therefore to cash income, but that farm‐level social capital does not necessarily provide pathways to stable or high‐paying jobs outside agriculture.

Nesta pesquisa consideramos emigração rural a partir de dois locais de estudo no oeste do Pará, na Bacia Amazônica. Aqui nós argumentamos que a emigração é fortemente influenciada pelo contexto histórico, e pelas instituições de legado associadas com o período da colonização de cada site. Apoiamos nosso argumento com dados longitudinais coletados dos arredores rurais das cidades de Altamira e Santarém. Nossos dados sugerem que a emigração rural é significativamente maior de Altamira, o local de estudo mais recentemente colonizado. Eles também indicam que as medidas de riqueza, incluindo o acesso ao gado, propriedade e habitações urbanas, artefatos dos períodos institucionais em que os dois locais de estudo foram fundadas, agora exibem influências altamente divergentes sobre as decisões de migração. Nós, então, argumentamos que o legado dos contextos institucionais e históricos que anteriormente formaram in-migração a Bacia Amazônica oriental, atualmente, estão formando a emigração rural da região.
