Capitalismo, mujeres y precarización laboral en el siglo XXI

Abstract

Abstract: The present purpose is to analyze the labor foundations of capitalism that cause the division of labor by gender and its consequences in the precariousness of women, which are reflected in both non-salaried and salaried work. In this context, the capitalist production system is presented as the basis for looking at the inequality faced by women from another perspective. Through a documentary, historical and descriptive research design, this existing gender inequality was evidenced. The analysis carried out suggests that women suffer job insecurity in the productive sectors and that this insecurity occurs in areas of access to leadership positions and social security, salary and labor flexibility. Women have more occupation in the service sector than in times of crisis are the most vulnerable. Reconciling salaried and domestic work is a challenge for women, who show a greater number of hours dedicated to the role of domestic care than their male counterparts. All of the aforementioned has been exacerbated in times of pandemic due to COVID-19.
