Description
Summary:The present investigation consists of a first approximation to the characterization of the family and labor profiles of the heads of households of Tierra del Fuego during the period 2003-2015. It addresses the profiles of female and male headship differently and comparatively according to their incidence in the labor market and their socio-labor conditions as opposed to their roles within the private-family sphere. In this way, it is possible to account for gender inequality based on the sexual division of labor and its explicit implications in the different profiles. La presente investigación consiste en una primera aproximación a la caracterización de los perfiles familiares y laborales de las jefaturas de los hogares de Tierra del Fuego durante el perí­odo 2003-2015. Aborda diferenciada y comparativamente los perfiles de jefatura femenina y jefatura masculina según su incidencia en el mercado de trabajo y sus condiciones socio-laborales de forma contrapuesta a sus roles dentro del ámbito privado-familiar. De esta manera, se logra dar cuenta de la desigualdad de género a partir de la división sexual del trabajo y sus implicancias expresas en los distintos perfilamientos.
