Generally speaking brake squealing is caused by hard lining. You can get different qualities of lining, from soft to very hard. The harder the lining the more you can get brake squeal. Obviously the harder the lining the longer it will last.
Having said that, other things can cause it, so now you know what side it is coming from, it might not hurt to pull the brake drums off and check out the system. Nowadays a lot of lining is just glued on to the backing plates ( not riveted )and can come loose if overheated. Never hurts to check, or get a brake professional to go for a ride and give you their opinion.
