Description
Summary:This article analyzes the perceptions and experiences of working women from different occupations belonging to middle, working and popular groups, regarding the limitations, tensions and strategies in the entry and maintenance in the labor market. Through a qualitative approach, 27 interviews and three focus groups were carried out for women who work in paid jobs in Chile. As a result of the study, we found different ways of expressing and resolving the tensions of the family-work conflict by social group, practices that, however, are framed in contradictory discourses that partly reproduce and partly question the traditional gender order.
