Solidarity Economy as a Propositive Bias to Overcome Sexual Disparity in the Countryside: an Analysis Between Gender and Succession of Rural Property in Rio Grande do Norte

Objective: The objective of this study is to perform a Pearson correlation analysis between the variables “gender” and “succession”, and the non-parametric Kruscal-Wallis test, to answer which gender predominates in the succession process in family farming families in Rio Grande do Norte. Theoretical Framework: Solidarity economy is an international phenomenon with strong potential for change in population contexts, for the reinsertion and participation of workers in the means of production, bringing, in addition to the rational aspect of the economy, crucial issues to be debated in the status quo, such as fairer income distribution and the reduction of social and gender asymmetries. Method: The study included 137 family farmers from the state of Rio Grande do Norte, with more than 2 years of work experience, who answered the questionnaire with assertions organized on a Likert scale. Statistical analyses were performed using Pearson’s correlation test and the Kruskal-Wallis test. Results and Discussion: Data indicate that the male gender is predominant in the succession process in family farming in Rio Grande do Norte, with men as the main representatives in the relationship between land ownership and gender. Research Implications: This study contributes to the discussion on the importance of solidarity-based self-management models in the historical reparation of gender inequality in the world of work. Originality/Value: The research elucidates answers about the succession process in family farming from a gender perspective, helping to resolve the questions that this topic has raised.
