Abstract

The aim of this research was to verify, from analysis of the Life Conditions Index, if perceptions about life conditions between rural producers’ households (family farm or non-family farm) and rural non-farmer households differed statistically. Therefore, were executed means comparison tests (test-T) whose null hypothesis referred to equivalent means, that is, equal perceptions, and the non-null hypothesis, the opposite. The results showed difference in perceptions of life conditions between rural farm households and rural non-farm households, in other words, the non-null hypothesis was accepted. However, between family farmers’ households and non-family farmers’ households the null hypothesis was accepted.
