Abstract

This paper analyses the evolution of occupations and income sources of country families and agriculturist families in the State of Paraná. To accomplish this task, special micro data sets (containing information from 2001 through 2004 years) from National Household Sample Survey were used. A relevant
reduction in the number of families connected to agriculturist family sector is observed. On the other hand, in urban areas the growth of residents exclusively dedicated to agricultural
activities is noted, concurrently with the growth of residents occupied in a diversified set of activities. These occupational movements constitute a new feature in rural areas. Going
over to the income issue, the income from retirement and pension benefits have greater relevance for agricultural family exclusively dedicated to agricultural activities and also
for families with members occupied in other activities and with autonomous members (but not dedicated to agricultural activities)
