| description | This study analyzes the context of women's incorporation into the urban labor market in the recent history of Mexico. The comparative perspective of choosing sixteen cities for the analysis enables the authors to detect the patterns of general changes in this context as well as their diversity; the results show the following. First, with the exception of certain northern, especially border cities, the structure of urban employment showed a clear trend towards de-industrialization and the expansion of distributive and personal services. As a result, distributive services overtook manufacturing as the principal source of employment in some of the most important metropolitan areas in the country. Secondly, these changes were linked to an increase in self-employment in the majority of urban centers. The maquiladora centers in the north of the country, like those in Mérida, were the only ones that showed an improvement in the type of insertion of the working population. Thirdly, although the real income of workers rose in urban centers, this was achieved at the cost of a greater inequity in salaries and an expansion of the wage gap between men and women. Fourthly, in light of the changes observed throughout this period of growing openness in the Mexican economy to international competition, the great majority of urban centers saw a reinforcement of the tendency towards an increase in the age of women who participate in economic activity outside the home, a lessening of the traditional exclusion of the wives of household heads from the labor force, and as a result of the significant increase in female participation in male-headed households, a reduction in the differences in the probabilities of women's working according to the sex of the head of the household. |

En este trabajo de investigación se analiza el contexto de integración de la mujer al mercado laboral urbano durante un periodo crucial en la historia reciente de México. La perspectiva comparativa de seleccionar 16 ciudades para el análisis permite capturar los patrones de cambio general de este contexto al igual que su diversidad. Los resultados permiten señalar lo siguiente. Primero, que con excepción de algunas ciudades norteñas, principalmente fronterizas, la estructura del empleo urbano mostró una clara tendencia a la desindustrialización y a la expansión de los servicios distributivos y personales. Esto permitió que los servicios distributivos rebasaran a la manufactura como principal fuente de empleo en algunas de las áreas metropolitanas más importantes del país. Segundo, que estos cambios estuvieron relacionados con un incremento del autoempleo en la mayoría de los centros urbanos. Los centros maquiladores del norte del país, al igual que Mérida, fueron los únicos en donde pudo observarse una mejora en el tipo de inserción de la población trabajadora. Tercero, que si bien el ingreso real de los trabajadores aumentó en todos los centros urbanos, esto se logró a costa de una mayor inequidad salarial y de una mayor ampliación de la brecha salarial entre hombres y mujeres. Cuarto, que a la luz de los cambios observados a lo largo de este periodo de apertura creciente de la economía mexicana a la competencia internacional, en la gran mayoría de los centros urbanos se reforzó la tendencia al aumento de la edad de las mujeres que participan en la actividad económica extradoméstica, se atenuó la exclusión tradicional de la fuerza de trabajo de las cónyuges del jefe de hogar y, como consecuencia de un importante incremento de la participación femenina en hogares con jefaturas masculinas, se redujeron las diferencias en las probabilidades de trabajar de las mujeres según el sexo del jefe del hogar.
