A comparison of women employed by the BUD plantations and
by the canned food industry in Dakar. The author finds that
even though conditions of employment in the city are more regular,
with higher salaries, social benefits and some trade union protection,
the resemblances between urban and rural workers are more
striking than the differences. The study, based on field work,
questionnaires and interviews, details the recruitment, salaries
and work conditions of the rural women and their lives within
the village and family contexts.
