The rural credit program in Brazil may encourage female children to engage in unpaid work (performance of domestic tasks).

The rural credit program in Brazil helps increase the focus on agricultural activities, but it also encourages female partners and female children to engage in unpaid work. Female partners and their children are helping male family heads with agricultural activities, while other female family members are left to perform domestic tasks.
