다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study is derived from qualitative research during the period 2007-2009 in an urban marginalized sector at the periphery of the Guadalajara Metropolitan Area (GMA). The poverty conditions for women and their households make the work one of the main resources to confront and cover the most basic needs. The impact of global processes of crisis and economic restructuration, as well as labor flexibility trends over the operation of labor markets (Garcia y Oliveira 1994, 1998; Oliveira y Ariza 1998, 2000, 2001) have been highlighted in its precariousness, situations that have affected the conditions of work for women. From a multidimensional perspective, it is analyzed the diverse types and forms of precarious work for women, as well as the social vulnerability in which they inhabit; this framework proposed by Caroline(1996) allows to visualize the three levels in which it increases or decreases when the units of analysis are based on the individual, the household and the community. The leads to a holistic comprehension of the scenarios in which vulnerability acquires relevant overtones in order to deepen on the different dynamics and processes in which feminine work is immerse. In this sense, with an approximation of the social actors situated in this precarious stage, it is considered from the standpoint of Rocio(2003, 150), that “the study of subjectivity cannot be ignored when seeking to understand changing and dynamic processes of the phenomena of social vulnerability and the roll that plays the access of work in the struggle for survival”. Hence that the deep interviews with a biographical approach realized to women of urban sector contribute to the construction of the meanings the practices around feminine work.
