The insertion of the m ng usher in the lab market oral far from being an act of liberation , conditions was given by the needs of operating system employer. Precarization and salaries baj alg you were one of his consequences.
Today great job insecurity linked to unemployment and low wages produce that promotes a woman simultaneously reconciles the "obligations" imposed by patriarchal society (such as maternity and domestic work) with paid work. Under a system where the work is put to work for the interests of employers and machismo is held in benefit-producing that women get paid less for equal work ", we close the doors to jobs considered "male" and condemns us to a double working day, at work and at home. This does not escape that is imposed as a way of life of prostitution, ie, institutionalized rape just because they are women and therefore sex objects socially accepted and promoted. Noting these facts, we see that the woman does not work on an equal footing with men, and is doubly affected by the patriarchal-capitalist exploitation.
Traditionally, female labor participation took place only until marriage and then finally left home extra work due to the change of family status. In the late sixties, it starts to be maternity support and extra work home, with a second market entry work once the period of education of children. In the '70s, the development of capitalism and industrialization programs that appealed to the recruitment of female labor force (trying to cushion the crisis on low wages to women who agreed to replace the absence or low family income and to meet rising prices), produced a transformation in the sexual division of labor: be submitted within the home, required to fulfill the role of breeders and responsible work care home for male workers and suffer direct employer exploitation of a system that benefits from the machismo. Having to endure being employed in unskilled jobs, low wages, no stability and little unionized.
Today most women are employed in a small number of occupations and sectors (for example, performing administrative work or teaching in the nursery and primary education) as which can be defined as "occupational segregation." In addition to that usually occupy subordinate positions in the occupational hierarchy, while those entering management positions are overwhelmingly male ("segregation"). As a result of these and other phenomena women earn, on average, lower wages than men.
The difficulties of integrating women because of occupational segmentation in the labor market limits the range of occupations that are eligible, the employer's perception that women have higher labor interruptions due to pregnancy and parenting, and the deliberate spread of the idea that the contribution of women is central revenue family makes much of the female labor force engages in non-formal sectors and low productivity , resulting affected not only by the actions specifically directed against the workers, but also It would correspond to the precarious sectors in which it is inserted.
