Observatory on the Universalization of Social Security:
Day Laborers

Wage labor in rural agriculture stands out for having the lowest incomes and the worst living conditions in most Latin American countries.

Those who engage in occasional agricultural work are referred to day laborers because they sell their labor on a daily basis, that is, per day.

Additionally, they face the following vulnerabilities:

Lack of a contract

Lack of social security benefits

Often, they are migrants (domestic or international), lacking citizenship-associated rights and local support networks.

This section of the Observatory provides material that analyzes the challenges day laborers face in accessing social security. The aim is to identify and promote the most relevant models for regulating these activities, contributing to the formulation of regulatory alternatives and public policy to promote and guarantee the labor and human rights of individuals employed in the sector.
