This article attempts to explain the existence of a particular system of production organisation involving share tenancy and wage labour cultivation that obtains in the southern regions of the Sind province in Pakistan. The explanation invokes selected features in the functioning of the labour market in an environment characterised by an unequal distribution of land ownership holdings and the availability of profitable new technologies of production. The emphasis is on structural, endowment related as well as market-based features of the institutional form within the overall context of a labour-based explanation. Published macro-level data have been used as well as micro-level survey-based information on contractual arrangements to substantiate the argument
