Abstract

Gender inequality is a persistent issue in the Brazilian social landscape. Arbitrarily, this dynamic is reproduced within the family sphere, distorting the social roles of men and women under patriarchal norms. This study examines the Montes Claros microregion in Minas Gerais, using data from the 2017 Agricultural Census, with a focus on the characteristics of family farmers—particularly gender, race, age, and education—to assess women’s participation in rural activities. Thus, the research aims to analyze the role of women in family farming within the Montes Claros microregion. The study’s rationale lies in highlighting the significance of gender in rural labor. Methodologically, the research is structured into three stages: first, a literature review of key authors on the subject; second, a characterization of the study area; and finally, an analysis and discussion of data extracted from the 2017 Agricultural Census. Overall, the findings reveal evident disparities in women’s management of agricultural establishments compared to men. It is worth noting that this study focuses on select quantitative variables that illustrate the observed scenario.
