| description | Contrary to what it is generally assumed, this essay finds that rural household income in Bolivia is highly diversified. Estimations for 2002 reveal that only 52% of a rural household income comes from agricultural activities inside the farm. The study shows that the “agrarian question” in Bolivia is no longer exclusively and agricultural issue. The development of independent activities and the apparently institucionalized participation in periodic wage markets reflect the need to go beyond strictly agricultural policies. |

Estimations for 2002 reveal that only 52% of a rural household income comes from agricultural activities inside the farm. The study shows that the “agrarian question” in Bolivia is no longer exclusively and agricultural issue. The development of independent activities and the apparently institucionalized participation in periodic wage markets reflect the need to go beyond strictly agricultural policies. Contra a lo que generalmente se asume, este artículo demuestra que los ingresos de las unidades productivas familiares en el área rural de Bolivia se encuentran altamente diversificados. Las estimaciones para el año 2002 (los últimos datos disponibles) revelan que el ingreso familiar proveniente de la producción agropecuaria y por subproductos representa solamente un 52%de los ingresos totales. Este estudio demuestra que resolver la “cuestión agraria” en Bolivia ha dejado de ser un problema exclusivamente agropecuario. El desarrollo de actividades independientes y la participación en mercados de trabajo asalariado son sin duda actividades que deberán ser consideradas en la identificación de políticas orientadas a la reactivación económica de este sector.
