“…The focus group study was divided into an all-male group and an all-female group because previous research has found that participants, particularly women, are more candid in gender-segregated groups (Evans, 1992;. In addition, because of the tendency for specialization of labor by gender (Rosenfeld, 1985), schedules of men and women on the farm tend to be different and hence their availability for participation in the study tends to be gender-differentiated.…”

This study examines parents' perspectives on their children working on their family dairy farms in Wisconsin. The objective of this focus group study is (1) to gain insights on why children work on their family farms, (2) to identify those benefits that parents perceive that they and their children gain from their children working onfarm, (3) to determine the concerns that parents have about their children working, (4) to identify ways to improve the safety of children on family farms, and (5) to understand how US agricultural policy impacts family decisions to use their children's labor on their farms. The two focus groups reveal that fathers and mothers have different concerns and different perceptions regarding the benefits gained from having their children work on farms. The findings suggest that in response to US agricultural policy, parents are increasingly reliant upon their children's labor. Children work the longest hours on economically stressed farms.

“…The women had multiple roles and typically worked more hours than men (Rosenfeld, 1985;ATFFI, 1996;Meares, 1997;Rickson and Daniels, 1999;. Women spend half the time fathers do working on-farm and about seven hours per day on household chores.…”

“…To some extent, this problem emanates from how historical register data include the women on a family farm. However, it is rather well known that there is a clear gendered division of labour on family farms (Rosenfeld 1985;Lasley et al 1995;Barlett et al 1999). The institutionalization of welfare production, for instance in the Swedish case, has resulted in off-farm employment for many women in relation to traditional family farming.…”

“…Furthermore, several studies show that the conditions for agricultural workers are different for women. For example, in farmer households it is much more common for the women to engage in off-farm employment should it be needed for the household economy (Ember 1983;Buttel & Gillespie 1984;Rosenfeld 1985). Another important question is therefore whether there is a gender difference in the changes in the agricultural labour dynamics.…”

(2017). Rural restructuring and gendered micro-dynamics of the agricultural labour market. Fennia 195: 1, pp. 25-35. ISSN 1798-5617.Based on a comparison of the employment trajectories of two cohorts of men and women in the agricultural sector in Sweden, this article gives an account of the past 50 years' decline in employment in agriculture. The findings show that the decline of employment in agriculture was the result of fewer entries into the sector and more exits out of the sector. The findings also suggest that the restructuring of the agricultural sector has had greater effects on women than men, with women exiting the sector to a greater degree or never entering it to begin with.

This study investigates the status of female entrepreneurs in the Greek countryside as formed in the recent years owed to the emergence of agritourism. Agritourism has provided opportunities for additional income in localities through the utilization of knowledge of traditional customs, recipes, folk art. Women entrepreneurs in the sector often function within a context of adverse circumstances, pertaining to their multiple responsibilities at home and at work. Organization of women in producers' cooperatives has facilitated their endeavor with regard to commitment, mutual support and pooling knowledge. On the other hand, major obstacles include lack of management education and insufficient marketing of local products. Even though status of women has been upgraded to an extent due to their additional contribution to the family income, conservative stereotypes about their role remain still intact in the countryside.
