Among the Nuer pastoralists of southern Sudan, women's work in subsistence production has been substantial. The paper explores the ways in which women's work had changed by the 1970s in response to increased male labor migration and to local income-earning opportunities. Women's work is analyzed in relation to the role of rural production in the social reproduction of the national labor force. Special attention is given to the impact of health conditions and the consequent effects on reproduction, including the reproductive histories of 89 women in the central Nuer area. (DÜI-Hff)
