Work in agriculture in the international scientific literature (2010-2019)

Resumen

Near half of the global population lives in rural areas, and agricultural sector is the second largest employer in the world. However, issues related to work in agriculture are diverse. Our aim is to draw an overview of the international research on work in agriculture through a bibliometric analysis of articles published in English between 2010 and 2019 in Web of Science and Scopus. We performed a synchronic analysis (i.e. identification network of keywords co-occurrence) and diachronic (i.e. evolution of research objects). Six main research domains were identified: labor allocation, labor market dynamics, gender and vulnerabilities, health at work, work organization in farms, and labor governance in agri-food chains. Disciplinary approaches were frequently used to analyze different issues. However, such approaches cannot handle the complex connection between issues. Seven research objects (gender, migration, child labor, health, work organization, employment, labor governance in agri-food chains) into the research domains followed different paths over the past 10 years (consolidation, instability, emergence). Our overview indicated that a pluridisciplinary approach is needed to explore emerging topics (e.g. migration, labor governance in agri-food value chains) and those related to societal issues (e.g. innovation).
