A divisão sexual do trabalho em unidades de produção familiar de uma cooperativa organizada por mulheres rurais.

This research analyzes the sexual division of labor in family production units (UPF) in the Cooperativa de Mulheres Agricultoras e Artesãs de São Ludgero/SC (Cooperação). The research used a qualitative approach and conducted semi-structured interviews with six members. As a result, it was found that, in the UPF where the Cooperação is the main source of income, women tend to exercise less autonomy in administrative and resource management activities; and, in the UPF which have a secondary source of income in the Cooperação, men tend not to be involved in the unit's activities, but they also exert less power over the allocation of resources. In both situations, the existence of an unequal division of domestic and care activities in the UPF is concluded, revealing aspects of the sexual division of work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
