    The fragility of women’s work trajectories in Chile
    (MDPI, 2021-04-23) Undurraga, Rosario; Gunnarsson, Jóna
    How are the work trajectories of Chilean women? This qualitative study analyzes the female work trajectories through interviews and biograms in a sample of 50 Chilean women, professionals and non-professionals, between the ages of 24 and 88. The article proposes an original typology of female work trajectories and relates type of work trajectory with Piore’s theory of labor market segmentation. The paper discusses the challenges and weaknesses of the Chilean women’s labor outcome and presents recent data to extrapolate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on vulnerable work trajectories. It considers the type of State and possible actions to achieve greater welfare and social development regarding gender equality.

    The multidimensionality of care in remote work: women academics in Chile during the COVID-19 pandemic
    (Routledge, 2023-12-30) Mora, Claudia; Undurraga, Rosario; Simbürger, Elisabeth
    The boundaries between paid and care work all but disappeared for women during COVID-19 lockdowns. All realms of life merged into the household while the workload shouldered by women heavily increased. As external support for care vanished, gender orders became obvious as the burden of care was re-established as the personal responsibility of women. Based on fifteen photo-elicited interviews with women academics in Chile who worked remotely during lockdown, this study poses a multidimensional notion of care that captures academic, highly skilled women’s care work in three dimensions: (1) care as assistance (care for others); (2) care as survival (self-care); and (3) care as a symbolic burden in the labour market. The study suggests that these different dimensions of care reveal the articulation of women’s care labour with family, paid and unpaid work, and institutional regimes, contributing to the reproduction of gender inequality.
