Abstract
Previous models of the sexual division of labor in agriculture have suggested that men and women universally have distinctive work routines and differential access to agricultural labor. This article argues that these generalizations will not always hold true and illustrates this point with the particular example of intensive agriculture dependent on manual labor. An analysis of detailed labor data from the Nigerian Kofyar support this contention. [sexual division of labor, agriculture, agricultural intensification, control and access to labor, Nigeria]
