    Information Note #7: Agricultural Trade and Decent Rural Employment 2016
    Also available in:

    Given the significance of agriculture to rural livelihoods, agricultural trade has the potential to significantly impact rural employment and incomes. Agriculture is the largest employer of the world’s poor, most of whom live in rural areas. As developing economies grow, and undergo structural transformation, employment tends to shift away from agriculture into other sectors, such as industry or services. Along the path of structural transformation, agricultural trade can speed up shifts in econ omic activity from agriculture to other sectors, resulting in asymmetries between sectors in terms of output growth and incomes, thereby posing both risks and opportunities for decent rural employment in developing countries.

    This brochure provides an easy-to-read overview of the main components of FAO's approach to mainstreaming decent rural employment at global, regional and country level. It also includes a list of useful publications and resources. Creating more and better employment opportunities in rural areas is essential for the fight against hunger and poverty and for creating more prosperous livelihoods for the population at large. Being central to its mission, FAO works with governments and partners to c reate decent farm and non-farm employment, providing technical support and informing policy dialogue. In particular, FAO promotes innovative approaches to address key issues such as youth employment, child labour, women and decent work, migration, working conditions and availability of data and evidence.
