Résumé
The recent surge in Large-Scale Agricultural Investments (LAI) has triggered much debate and analysis on land issues. But what are the debates and results saying about labour issues? This paper offers a comparative perspective by studying Kenya, Mozambique and Madagascar -three African countries having contrasted experiences in terms of LAI. Based on qualitative and quantitative data (LAI inventory and household large-scale survey), it brings comprehensive analysis of both wage employment creation (quantity and quality of jobs created) and distribution (workers and households profiles) attributable to LAI. It offers original results by analysing jointly labour demand and supply, comparing different LAI business models, and prompting debate about agriculture development models (LAI versus family farming).
