This study analyses the contribution of agricultural and non-farm activities to the inequality of rural income distribution in Brazil, observing two evidences: the participation of each sector in the household earnings of different income strata delimited by percentiles and the decomposition of Gini coefficients. Besides the official rural population, this research includes towns whose population and demographic density are very low. The results show that agriculture and rural non-farm activities contribute, respectively, to reduce and to increase rural income inequalities in Brazil.Downloads
