\textbf{Abstract}
\begin{abstract}
\normalsize{
The transformation of the agricultural sector currently being witnessed across many African countries has been perceived to be connected to land resources and the quest for many of them to advance agriculture commercial enterprise. The main expectations in this agricultural transformation include: increasing labour market participation through job creation, rural development and so on. After some years of experimentation, the key question is: to what extent has this alleged transformation delivered on its promises to the households particularly the women who are the most vulnerable? This study engages comparative analyses using household interviews in communities with and without large"=scale land investments (LSLIs) in Tanzania. It contributes to the literature based on empirical analyses that compare agricultural labour market participation with the non"=agricultural sector. It also compares labour market participation of young women and adult women, with a view to unbundling the analyses. 



The article uses national"=level data from the World Bank The Living Standards Measurement Study - Integrated Surveys on Agriculture (LSMS-ISA) matched with Land Matrix Database information locations where LSLIs are taking place in Tanzania. These national level data was complemented using a case study of Kilombero district, Morogoro Region, which has received sizeable number of LSLIs that are currently in operation. The particular cases are within the sugar and rice sub"=sectors.



Observing the issue from a gender perspective, this study finds that there are significant effects of LSLIs on female labour market participation in the agricultural and non"=agricultural sector with marked differences. This implies that the transformation agenda of the agricultural sector in Africa needs adequate targeting of the potential beneficiaries as one cap does not fit all. }
