Gender and generations in Capitalized Family Farming. Case study: Western Paraná, Brazil.

This communication identifies characteristics of the socio-agrarian stratum called Capitalized Family Agriculture (AFC), which from the second half of the 19th century to the present has significant political, economic, social and institutional influence in rural spaces of the Plata Basin. Both the gender and generational approaches are applied in the organization of family work and its interrelation with productive work, in a case study in western Paraná, Brazil, since 2019, being part of a research of greater territorial and temporal scope. The methodological design is based on non-probabilistic sampling with the application of questionnaires. The results show that a patriarchal bias persists in decision-making and asset management in family and productive spheres. The survival of this traditional pattern would be one of the factors that threatens the generational continuity and survival of the agricultural family business. However, some changes related to more equitable expectations in the distribution of responsibilities, both family and productive spheres, between men and women are beginning to be evident in the new generations.
