Abstract
Este estudio cualitativo explora la experiencia del trabajo de cuidado en las trayectorias laborales de mujeres chilenas, considerando edad y nivel educacional. Para ello, se entrevistaron cincuenta mujeres profesionales y no-profesionales, entre 24 y 88 años, residentes en Santiago de Chile. Los resultados muestran distintos tipos de cuidado y sus relaciones con las trayectorias laborales, a través de: a) cambios de tipo de trabajo, b) salidas y reingresos, c) retiros permanentes y d) desinterés en la maternidad. Se destaca el rol del cuidado en la vida de las mujeres, que puede generarles satisfacción y culpa. Se concluye que persisten roles tradicionales de género en un sistema cultural que limita la gestión social del cuidado y que deja recaer su responsabilidad sobre las mujeres.
ABSTRACT: This qualitative study explores the experience of care work in the labor trajectories of Chilean women, considering age and educational level. To this end, we interviewed fifty professional and non-professional women, aged between 24 and 88, and living in Santiago, Chile. The results show different types of care and their relationships with labor trajectories, through: a) changes in type of work, b) exits and re-entries, c) permanent retirements, and d) lack of interest in maternity. We highlight the role of care in women’s lives, which can lead to both satisfaction and guilt. We conclude that traditional gender roles persist in a cultural system that limits the social management of care and that places its responsibility on women.
