The Farm Labor Problem: A Global Perspective explores the unique
character of agricultural labor markets and the implications for
food production, farm worker welfare and advocacy, and immigration
policy. Agricultural labor markets differ from other labor markets
in fundamental ways related to seasonality and uncertainty, and
they evolve differently than other labor markets as economies
develop. We weave economic analysis with the history of
agricultural labor markets using data and real-world events. The
farm labor history of California and the United States is
particularly rich, so it plays a central role in the book, but the
book has a global perspective ensuring its relevance to Europe and
high-income Asian countries. The chapters in this book provide
readers with the basics for understanding how farm labor markets
work (labor in agricultural household models, farm labor supply and
demand, spatial market equilibria); farm labor and immigration
policy; farm labor organizing; farm employment and rural poverty;
unionization and the United Farm Workers movement; the Fair Food
Program as a new approach to collective bargaining; the declining
immigrant farm labor supply; and what economic development in
relatively low-income countries portends for the future of
agriculture in the United States and other high-income countries.
The book concludes with a chapter called "Robots in the Fields,"
which extrapolates current trends to a perhaps not-so-distant
future. The Farm Labor Problem serves as both a guide to policy
makers, farmworker advocates and international development
organizations and as a textbook for students of agricultural
economics and economics.
