This paper examines the men and women income sources and forms of occupations from families of Rio Grandedo Sul rural areas. To accomplish this task, special micro data sets (containing information from 2001 through 2007 years) from National Household Sample Survey (PNADs) were used. Estimates showed a significant increase on men and women participation in non-agricultural activities, mainly in what is termed “family farming pluriactivity". On income analysis, it appears that men remains the most responsible for generating family income, either in terms of working income sources, either in terms of overall income sources. It was observed that women still have much to conquer on equalizing their structuring family income participation before men.
