The agrarian subject has been addressed over the years on various points of view, as well as the conflicts arising from it. Currently, it is present in different analytical fields, as in environmental issues, but there are others fields which is not in evidence, like the labor market. To make progress on these open issues, it is necessary that the State give priority to them when they elaborate new socioeconomic policies. However, this situation is difficult to solve because the agricultural sector’s share has been reduced on the national income in order to content the new national capitalist model. Against this situation is the pressure of social movements, which opened opportunities to integrate some aspects of the agrarian subject specific about family farming policies. This article suggests that, among the possible approaches that the agrarian subject can take, one should have more attention: the factor market and, more specifically, the labor market. Thus, one believes that social policies, which focus on integration of the rural population in the labor market, could be prioritize by expanding its participation in the State's agenda.
