“El papá de mi hijo es la calle”: conciliando el trabajo productivo y reproductivo en las calles de Bogotá
(Universidad Icesi, 2019-08-01) Rodríguez Morales, Andrés
This paper aims at studying how female street vendors living in Bogotá with children between the ages of zero and five years reconcile work and family responsibilities, and argues that law does not take into account their needs when creating legal mechanisms aimed at reconciling the tension between family and work, or when designing the rules that apply to public child care services in Bogotá.
"A mí me gustaría pero en mis condiciones no puedo": maternidad, discriminación y exclusión en el mercado laboral colombiano
(Universidad Icesi, 2019-08-01) Ramírez Bustamante, Natalia
This article proposes a critical reading of the design of maternity protection focused on the protection of working mothers. It also presents evidence of the adverse effects this has due to the ineffectiveness of the anti-discrimination norms in the employment hiring procedures. Additionally, and through fieldwork with workers and employers of the garment manufacturing sector in Colombia, it provides evidence of the anti-maternal and anti-caring practices that characterize some sectors of formal work in the country and that end up excluding female workers who are mothers or who have care responsibilities.
Trabajo y mujeres privadas de la libertad: trabajando al margen del derecho laboral
(Universidad Icesi, 2019-08-01) Morad, Juliana
Based on a mixed-methodology research, this article shows that the socio-economic profile of the majority of women deprived of their liberty in Colombia is characterized by a multiple marginality situation, due to the connection between gender and low socio-economic status. Likewise, this text explores the specific needs and the experiences of these women in relation to work, by considering their profile and role as primary caregivers. The analysis is divided into three moments: before detention, in prison, and after returning to the community where it is evident that prison strengthens inequality linked to their gender and low socio-economic status. These social-economic vulnerability conditions include precarious employment. It is fundamental to offer programs, interventions, and services that consider women’s profile and their situation, particularly, training in prison for a job that will be productive and useful when released. Additionally, it is important to rethink the scope of labor law in relation to prison work.
“Volver a la tierra”: dimensiones territoriales del trabajo como delimitantes de las opciones laborales para las mujeres en Madrid, Cundinamarca
(Universidad Icesi, 2019-08-01) Lara Veloza, Guisella
This article proposes to consider the territorial dimensions of work from a gender perspective and as an element for analysis in labor law academy. Through a case study of the Asoquimad association in Madrid, Cundinamarca, the article identifies a series of territorial determinants that underlie the employment history of women who seek, in peri-urban scenarios, to transit from working in the floriculture agroindustry to cooperative work in small-scale agroecological and solidarity economies. The case illustrates how global, regional, and local dynamics intersect in the delimitation of the labor options these women have access to in a context of transformation and dispute of what “the rural” is. The reading of the constraints faced by women enables a deeper understanding of labor as well as of its specific articulations with peri-urban transformations.
Trayectorias de mujeres en el hip-hop: reproducción de la vida en itinerarios de trabajo artístico
(Universidad Icesi, 2019-08-01) Pinzón Díaz, Fabian Esteban
The reality of the right to work of popular artists challenges the traditional frameworks of labor law. Based on life stories as a source of knowledge, we review the work itineraries of two hip-hop popular artists. We present the complexity of their careers and the different relationships they build in different social circles. In these spaces, we find different forms of accumulation of capital and knowledge and the development of collective strategies for the reproduction of life that respond to social protection necessities. In the light of these women experiences, the article discusses the precarious working conditions offered to artists through entrepreneurial initiatives promoted by the State and international cooperation.
Trabajo de cuidado: mercantilización y desvalorización
(Universidad Icesi, 2019-08-01) Pineda D., Javier A.
Based on the conceptual turn of care that has taken place in the last decade in Latin America, this article presents, for the Colombian case, the increasing commodification of care activities and argues that this process has not only been highly feminized but has also led to new forms of devaluation of care and women’s work. In general, this process is evidenced in the domestic service of paid care in family and, specifically, in the work of institutionalized care of the elderly, based on both quantitative and qualitative sources.
“Uno se resigna a que el transporte es así”: trabajadoras domésticas sindicalizadas atravesando Medellín
(Universidad Icesi, 2019-08-01) Montoya, Valentina
There are more than 700.000 paid domestic workers in Colombia. Since the 80’s, with the massive urbanization process in Latin America, most of them went from being “in-house” to “external” workers, commuting daily from their homes to their work sites located in their employers’ houses. This shift exponentially augmented their commuting times, without transportation planners adjusting the situation. The history of UTRASD (the Afro-Colombian domestic workers’ union created in Medellín) evidences how, despite its success in the recognition of labor rights in the national arena, in the local space they are far from exercising their right to mobility.
Transporte, capital temporal y género
(Universidad Icesi, 2019-08-01) Amaya Castro, Juan M.
This text analyzes the ways in which a group of female workers in the city of Bogotá are part of a set of specific spatio-temporal dynamics, giving their experience in public transportation. The basis for these dynamics lies on the conception of time as a value, as an essential investment that shapes the rest of the aspects related to the lives of these women. Time, then, revolves around two centers of gravity: work – in its various forms – and transportation. These centers of gravity are nodes in the organization of their daily lives. However, commuting undertakes this role because of its own indeterminacy. It is neither a spatio-temporal context that is part of work, even if it is necessary for this purpose, nor it is “leisure-time”. This indeterminacy leads us to the question of what role does labor law play in these dynamics; if it is not working time, nor leisure-time, then… whose time is it?
“Yo me defiendo”: entendiendo la informalidad laboral a partir del trabajo de las mujeres mototaxistas en Barranquilla, Colombia
(Universidad Icesi, 2019-08-01) Castro, María Victoria
Through the lens of the subjective experience of women who drive moto-taxis in Barranquilla, Colombia, this article explores the interaction between labor informality, precarious working conditions, and gender. Based on the information obtained from in-depth interviews, ethnographic observation, and focus groups, the article questions the usual approaches to city, gender, and labor informality to the extent that they do not represent properly the subjective experiences of the workers, they flatten the analysis of the differential consequences for women in this type of work, and they produce images of insecurity and instability that are not necessarily perceived by these women.
