Abstract

This paper analyzes the interaction between the process of job insecurity in the fishing industry in the 1990s and the sexual division of domestic labor. There are diverse academic studies about the organization of domestic labor among adult household members, especially for heterosexual homes. This work addresses a less explored phenomenon: domestic work of girls and adolescents in their homes of origin. Based on two life histories, we cross experiences that are built around class and gender inequalities that limit the possibilities of upward mobility of young poor girls. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
