HAUGG, Diana Elizabeth. The yerba mate harvest (tarefa): particularities of the labour market and its labour circularity. Folia [online]. 2020, n.38, pp.73-98. ISSN 0325-8238. http://dx.doi.org/10.30972/fhn.0384464.
In the Province of Misiones, the primary production of yerba mate implies an important labour market, which annually requires the mobility of a large contingent of rural workers (men, women, and children), who are regionally recognized as tareferos (a plural noun which is arbitrarily categorised into masculine gender). The aim of this work is to analyze, from primary and secondary sources, the particularities of the harvesting/yerbatero market during the 1970s by inquiring into the employment and the living conditions of tareferos/as. The investigation reveals that the market of yerba mate is based on values and customs which are regionally established. This situation entails a labour circulation, which involves not only the circulation of people, but also the circulation of the activity from generation to generation.
