This paper explores the relationship between economic development and the entrance of women into the labor market. In particular, it reviews the links between female labor force participation [FLFP] and several variables associated with development —economic structure, income level, poverty, inequality, marginalization, human development and other specific gender indicators. This essay analyses the case of municipalities in the northern Mexican state of Chihuahua. Based on empirical study, a causal relationship framework between FLFP and the development of regions is proposed. This paper concludes that women's participation in the economy has a significant impact on development; therefore, regions must formulate public policies that create more opportunities for the incorporation of women into the labor market.

The "glass ceiling" is defined as the obstacles that obstruct a woman to achieve high-level positions in organizations. The aim of this paper is to analyze the current situation of women in senior management positions in the Mexican context, in order to measure how much the glass ceiling affects dieir professional development. For that, a documentary research was conducted by collecting information from both, companies listed on the Mexican Stock Exchange (BMV, according to its initials in Spanish) companies, as well as recent publications by the business sector in Mexico. The main finding of this study shows that on average, women who make up the Board of Directors in companies listed on the Mexican Stock Exchange companies, only reaches 4-56%, additionally, of the 500 best companies to work in Mexico, only 3% arc directed by women, and, of the 50 most powerful women in Mexico, only 14% arc company executives. Which shows that despite the advances that have occurred in relation to gender equality is still difficult for women to overcome the glass ceiling. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper I intend to reconstruct, from an ethnographic perspective, a number of situations lived in an urban organization of unemployed workers at the city and the suburbs of Buenos Aires, Argentina. On one side, I describe and analyze how a certain complementarity of tasks takes place in the ways women and men participate. On the other, I show how the existence of an Espacio de Mujeres (Women's Space) in this organization strains the outlines and limits of those ways of participation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objectives of this paper are twofold: first, to show the changes in the rates of economic participation and the sectoral and occupational integration of women workers in the State of Mexico. Second, to know the strategies that women have to use in order to work in industry because of the strong work flexibility, needed. One primary concern is the changes in labor markets, such as the increase of women's participation, segmentation, and labor market flexibility. Our study conceptualizes the labor market not just in terms of "location factors", but also in terms of social construction, focusing on the construction of flexibility as well as in the strategies of female workers in the industry to cope with demands of everyday work. We suggest the importance of a proper and necessary social regulation of labor markets, including the problems facing women. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Birth intervals have rarely been considered a phenomenon worthy of study in developed countries, but rather a mere consequence of individuals' decisions about total family size and age at first birth. However, women may be using birth spacing as a strategy to make employment and motherhood more compatible. The aim of this paper is to shed light on the analysis of the influence that women's attachment to work and received help with housework can have on the length of second birth intervals. For this purpose, I have taken information from a sample of 871 Spanish women aged between 35 and 49. The data have been obtained from the Fertility and Family Survey for Spain, conducted in 1995. The results obtained from some multivariate linear regression models indicate that the strong attachment to work negatively affects the length of second birth intervals, especially among highly educated women. However, the positive effect of help with housework on the interval can counteract the influence of the abovementioned characteristics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper applies microeconometric decomposition techniques with the purpose of assessing the determinants of the significant increase in the female labor force participation rate experienced during the period 1990-2003. In particular, we are interested in evaluating how much of the increase in the female participation rate can be explained by changes in the family structure or changes in the educational level achieved, and how much of this change is completely neutral to these factors. The increase in the education level of the female population is, without a doubt, one of the main determinants of the increase in the labor force participation rate. Surprisingly, changes in fertility do not seem to have a significant impact on the female participation rate. We didn't even find a parameter effect indicating that the patterns of the participation (elasticity) of women with small children would have changed substantially. Most of the parameter effect is due to a constant effect, which is particularly high during the period 1996-2003. That is, independently of the characteristics of the women, there is a generalized increase in the female labor force participation rate. This result is robust when controls for business cycles are included. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Mexican-US border represents an illustrative example of the globalization processes due to the installation of assembly plants known as maquiladoras since the late sixties. This lead to massive employment of women and with it to a slow configuration of a female proletarianization in all of Mexico, which showed a strong correlation between the transnationalization of production process and the participation of working women. This article examine the convergence between maquiladoras, jobs and female employment as a complex relation that researchers have been trying to portray for almost four decades. With this in mind this paper reviews some of the main and well known academic and institutional analysis for the last few years in Mexico. This review should help to understand the complexity of female employment studies and the need to recognize these women as a distinct gender in the working world. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper focuses on the relation between the awareness emerging from female practices of social aid and care, and the process of becoming professional such practices, what supposes to include those practices into the modern rational ordering of knowledge. In this relation, the knowledge generated by women is produced in a subaltern condition; so legitimacy, prestige and social recognition are affected by the so-called "rational ordering". With this hypothesis in mind, the author expounds the notion of feminized profession. She points out the historic deepness of social aid and care practices, the cultural patterns that affect men and women behaviors, and the complexity of the value assignation to social and professional relations, when those values are culturally considered feminine. In this article, Social Work and Nursery are considered from the perspective of the professional cultures, which are conditioned in their development and recognition by gender prejudices and ideas. The importance of the foresaid concepts is discussed in the domain of public health, professional limit conflicts, and the subaltern position respect to the medical power. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
