The female gender and poverty in Peru
Introduction
The situation of working women in Peru does not differ from the situation of the vast majority of working women in the world. In Peru there are also some studies on the participation of women in the labor system, however, aspects of gender relationships have been little addressed. The little interest to investigate the social situation of women under the analytical cuts of gender conditioned by the ideological-cultural patterns that impede in Peruvian-Patriarchal capitalist-generating, in turn, of a social conscience little interested in unraveling the problem of inequalities historically experienced by the working woman nationwide.
The construction of the ‘feminization of poverty’ has helped give the genre an increasingly prominent place within international discourses on poverty and poverty reduction. However, the way in which the genre has been incorporated pragmatically – predominantly through the ‘feminization’ of the programs to fight poverty – has rare women frequently freed having to deal with poverty in poverty in His homes, as often hired women as a basic workforce in poverty fighting programs, ‘co -responsibility’ should not be a unidirectional process. This requires, among other things, a more active support of men, employers and public institutions in domestic work and unpaid care work.
Developing
Many are the studies that have been carried out from which these conclusions are derived, but it is also important to note that these indicators have not gone much further. To attack the problem, we must deepen and realize that this poverty in women is given, as noted in the UN women’s quote, for a violation of women’s rights.
We can’t stay in stereotypes. Within this feminization of poverty, results indicate that women’s headquarters increase in homes. This tells us anything; What it does tell us is that the households of female leaders are cataloged as the poorest of the poor. Are we talking about a stereotype or is this real?. As it seems to come off and as Chant herself points out in the study, she would be talking about a home whose head of the family is a woman cannot move on. It is true that the woman has greater loads than the man, but the stereotype that is created is that it is unquestionable that she is contextualized and equals home whose boss is a woman = poverty. I should then, as Chant says, investigate what these cases are and why."… many times they happen as many things inside the house as outside it, which determines the poverty, well -being and power of women"
Although there has been an evolution with the results that can be obtained from gender indicators in various studies, it is necessary And why have they not been able to get out of it. It is necessary to contextualize it in its social, economic, cultural, but also familiar field.
To do this, the instruments to make measurements must include abilities and rights disaggregated by sex such as education, properties, access to land and resources, access to health security and public services, but also the time that women dedicate to tasks do not remunerated.
conclusion
One of the struggles for women’s rights to get out of poverty, is inserted within the labor field. Not only is it about using more women or achieving equality in salaries with respect to men. Of course, this must be part of the strategies of governments and societies in general, but we will not achieve a change, if this does not part of the work structure itself.
It is an achievement that the woman is inserted into the work world that is increasingly looking for and scaing more positions, but it is also true that the burden on it has increased. In addition to working outside her home, there is unpaid work that day by day not only executes within her home but many times in her communities.
Some working conditions of the working woman in Peru have identified certain historical-social determinants derived from the differentiation by social class, race and gender that condition her situation of subordination in the social structure, situation of the Peruvian woman as a worker has had Great and deep transformations over time, however, always conditioned by patriarchal ideological-cultural patterns that culminated in a predominantly peripheral capitalist society based on sexual differences, these models determine completely differentiated roles and papers From them the woman is generally assigned the functions of housewife, mother and wife, of the family field and when she joins the productive system of the public sphere, works and subalternity charges are assigned to the male. This discrimination is experienced even by professional women and especially by nurses as workers in health or education sectors, where the sexual division of labor causes salary inequalities and other obstacles to ascend or improve their social social status. Studies that show the situation of subordination of working women in Peru, commonly and in a very superficial way, associate this reality with variables related to economic dynamics, within them the type of occupation, employment levels, age by age, age, Education and others.
