description The objective of this paper is to analyze the working conditions of rural young people who stand out among rural workers not only in quantitatively terms but in qualitative terms as well. Young people are the focus of capital interests because their physical and social conditions make them prone to be exploited in the current territorial expansion of the agro-hydro-business of flexible crops in Latin America (such as sugar cane, palm oil, and soy). This situation is exacerbated by the commodity export cycle and the production of agrofuels. In order to analyze this reality, we present data on the age composition of rural young workers involved in the production of sugarcane in the State of São Paulo (Brazil) and palm oil in the departments of Meta and Casanare (Colombia).

Young people are the focus of capital interests because their physical and social conditions make them prone to be exploited in the current territorial expansion of the agro-hydro-business of flexible crops in Latin America (such as sugar cane, palm oil, and soy). This situation is exacerbated by the commodity export cycle and the production of agrofuels. In order to analyze this reality, we present data on the age composition of rural young workers involved in the production of sugarcane in the State of São Paulo (Brazil) and palm oil in the departments of Meta and Casanare (Colombia). El objetivo de este artículo es analizar las condiciones de trabajo de jóvenes rurales, quienes se destacan entre los asalariados rurales no solo en términos cuantitativos sino también en lo cualitativo, al constituir el foco de atención del capital precisamente por sus condiciones físicas y sociales ideales que se prestan para ser explotados en la fase actual de expansión territorial del agrohidronegocio de cultivos flexibles en América Latina (como la caña de azúcar, palma de aceite y soya); situación que es potenciada por el ciclo de exportación de commodities y la producción de agrocombustibles. Para analizar esta realidad, se presentan datos sobre la composición etaria de los trabajadores rurales jóvenes en la caña de azúcar en el estado de São Paulo (Brasil) y la palma de aceite en los departamentos de Meta y Casanare (Colombia).  O objetivo deste artigo é analisar as condições de trabalho dos jovens rurais, os quais se destacam entre os trabalhadores rurais não apenas quantitativamente mas também qualitativamente constituindo o foco de atenção do capital precisamente por causa das suas condições físicas e sociais ideais que se adequam a serem exploradas na fase atual de expansão territorial do agrohidronegocio de culturas flexíveis na América Latina (tais como a cana de açúcar, óleo de palma e de soja); situação impulsionada pelo ciclo de exportação de commodities e pela produção de agrocombustíveis. Para analisar esta realidade, são apresentados dados sobre a composição etária dos trabalhadores rurais jovens na cana de açúcar no Estado de São Paulo (Brasil) e do óleo de palma nos departamentos de Meta e Casanare (Colômbia).
