Informal employment has been identified as an important social determinant of health. This article addresses the processes through which informal employment affects workers’ health in Chile. The study's methodological approach was based on qualitative interviews with 34 formal and informal workers. The findings show how workers perceive informal em...
Objective
The article examines how maternal gatekeeping practices evolve in the post‐separation trajectory and identifies the main relational and contextual factors shaping these processes over time.
Background
Studies of maternal gatekeeping have only recently begun to include post‐separation families based on cross‐sectional research designs. Th...
The paper explores working class couples' experiences of female‐breadwinning during the Great Recession in Spain. It examines the extent to which couples' adaptations to these gender‐atypical work‐family arrangements have led to processes of (un)doing gender. The study is based on the analysis of 24 semi‐structured biographical interviews and life...
Objective: This article shows the analytical value of an approach that integrates theoretical elaborations about the temporal orientations of different types of agency (pragmatic, identity, and life course) and uncertainty management, to analyse how families dealt with the challenges emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Background: The pandemic...
Mainstream life course studies often draw on a conventional understanding of time as a unidirectional clock-based entity, which proceeds in a uniform and linear manner. This paper argues that, in order to understand the social, relational and psychological processes of change and continuity that characterise life course processes, we need to adopt...
This article analyses how social and economic transformations over the last two decades have shaped women’s position in the work and family spheres in Italy and Spain, two countries often clustered together with other Southern European countries and yet exhibiting distinct features. Taking a long-term outlook, we discuss patterns of change of labou...
The European social turn following the development of the European Pillar of Social Rights and continuing through the Covid-19 pandemic and beyond produced a cluster of directives and policy programmes that were to have positive impacts on women’s labour market position. Nevertheless, this review finds that much remains to be done and identifies th...
Background
The key objective of our study was to describe the population-average trajectories of wellbeing, spanning the period of 2017–2022, comparing young people with other age groups. Moreover, we aimed to identify subgroups of young people who experienced disproportionate changes in wellbeing.
Methods
We used longitudinal data from six waves...
Background
The key objective of our study was to describe the population-average trajectories of wellbeing, spanning the period of 2017-2022, comparing young people with other age groups. Additionally, we aimed to describe population-average trajectories of stress and psychosomatic symptoms among young people in 2017-2022 and to identify subgroups...

This chapter argues that, in order to understand the social, relational and psychological processes of change and continuity that characterize life course processes, we need to adop...
Studies have often examined the effects of one dimension of work organization (WO) on the gender pay gap (GPG) by considering single contexts. However, research has rarely addressed how different factors of WO intersect to shape the GPG across contexts. This article fills this gap in the literature by comparing the chemical industry and financial s...
The time that middle-class fathers and mothers devote to care activities has significantly increased over the last two decades in Spain. In a context of increasingly widespread intensive and child-centred parenting styles, the attachment parenting movement draws on a gender-essentialist interpretation of attachment theory to prescribe a series of p...
The long-term care system in Spain has been characterised by decentralisation, marketisation, fiscal austerity and its reliance on informal family care and cheap migrant labour. Focusing on home-help services, this article addresses the extent to which the sector’s multi-level system of collective bargaining can be characterised as fragmented and w...
The COVID-19 pandemic and related restrictions have triggered simultaneous changes across multiple life domains within a very short timeframe. This major shock has seriously challenged the ability of families to adapt to unanticipated changes over which they had little control. Switzerland instigated a low-intensity lockdown in response to COVID-19...
This article looks at the changing configuration of work–family arrangements (WFA) in Spain through the lens of labour market segmentation. Using European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU‐SILC) data for 2005, 2007, 2010 and 2012, it examines occupational differences in WFA comparing the period of prosperity to the period of rece...
The combination of qualitative approaches and longitudinal research designs is a powerful way to explore changes in individual life courses as they occur. While qualitative research is mostly associated with retrospective studies that analyse lives ‘backwards’ in time, prospective qualitative studies that track lives as they unfold have grown in po...
L’esclat de la crisi, ara ja fa uns deu anys, coincideix amb els primers balanços,
poc engrescadors, en relació amb el lloc que ocupa la igualtat de gènere i,
més concretament, la igualtat d’oportunitats entre dones i homes, a l’agenda
europea d’ençà de l’aplicació de l’anomenada transversalitat de gènere, en el tombant
del segle. El desplegament d...

Studies have examined the effect of one or more dimensions of work organization on the gender pay gap(GPG), often for a given occupation or sector of activity. However, research has rarely addressed the institutional and organizational determinants of the GPG with a focus on their embeddedness across different contexts. This paper adopts an interdi...
El presente artículo pretende analizar el papel de la nego-ciación colectiva sectorial en la brecha salarial de género (BSG). Centra su atención en tres sectores de actividad ilustrativos de distintas configuraciones de BSG (banca, química y dependencia), a fin de determi-nar cómo se abordan a nivel convencional los posibles factores que interviene...

The 2008 crisis had a significant impact on household employment in some European countries. An analysis of the EU Statistics on Income and Living Conditions generated a new cross-national typology of household employment structures and showed how these changed during the crisis and austerity period, capturing the experiences of high and low qualif...

Anàlisi de barreres institucionals, organitzatives i culturals" (BridgeS), finançat pel programa Recercaixa. L'anàli...
The article presents a revision of the literature that has given the household a central role when studying different dimensions of the gender division of labour. One body of literature has looked at the household as a space of definition of (female) labour supply. Another stream of research has focused on the gendered division of domestic and care...
Approaches to the analysis of the gender pay gap have often focused on factors pertaining to the internal logical of the labour market and have aimed to identify observable differences in the positions of men and women in employment, which would account for the distance in their remunerations. These differences, instead of being analysed as given,...
La crisi no ha afectat de la mateixa manera a tothom. La forta erosió dels salaris s’ha acarnissat precisament amb aquells col·lectius que abans de la crisi ja es trobaven en una pitjor situació al mercat de treball, majoritàriament dones. La bretxa salarial és una mesura que pot contribuir a analitzar aquesta realitat, sense oblidar que podem trob...
El artículo analiza las transformaciones en la división social y sexual del trabajo en España, poniendo el foco en los hogares y subrayando la dimensión de clase de dichos cambios. En particular, se centra en las parejas de doble ingreso de clase trabajadora, como colectivo protagonista de las transformaciones recientes.

Publicación de la Jornada "Los salarios durante la crisis económica y su incidencia en el ASAC y en los sistemas de solución de conflictos" , organizadas por CCOO en la Fundación SIMA. Madrid, Consejo Económico y Social, 16 de Noviembre de 2016.
Els patrons de participació laboral de les dones espanyoles han experimentat transformacions molt importants en les últimes dècades, marcades en particular per un augment significatiu de les taxes d'activitat. L'ocupació femenina ha tendit a analitzar-se partint de la dona com a unitat d'anàlisi, com si la seva participació laboral fos independent...
Las "brechas de género", objeto principal del libro, se entienden como aquellos espacios de desigualdad entre mujeres y hombres que habría que equilibrar en la dirección de una mayor "justicia de género". Se estudian en tres países: España, Noruega e Islandia. Se presenta la brecha salarial de género como la distancia que hay entre los salarios de...
Las especialistas en mercado laboral femenino saben desde hace más de tres décadas que lo que ahora denominamos brecha salarial tiene que ver con las desigualdades de género que atraviesan el mercado de trabajo. Así, la brecha salarial sería un indicador objetivable, dada su relativa facilidad de cálculo, de la denominada discriminación salarial, u...
Los estudios sobre el empleo de las mujeres han proliferado en las últimas décadas, a menudo bajo una perspectiva que concibe la actividad laboral femenina como independiente de las presencias y ausencias masculinas en la esfera mercantil y reproductiva. Frente a estas aproximaciones, el artículo defiende la necesidad de basarse en la pareja como u...
The thesis analyses the transformations in the social and sexual division of labour in Spain, focusing in the household as the unit of analysis, and highlighting the class dimension of such changes. The point of entry into the problematic IS the changes that are taking place in the productive sphere. In particular, the research lies originates in t...
Los estudios acerca de la Brecha salarial (BS en adelante) se han centrado a menudo en la medición de las diferencias en las características individuales de hombres y mujeres (formación, antigüedad, tiempo de trabajo) con el objetivo de cuantificar la parte explicada y no explicada de dicha discrepancia, de un modo que relega al género a una suerte...
La comunicación presenta los resultados obtenidos por los miembros del grupo de investigación QUIT- UAB en el proyecto “La brecha salarial y la brecha de cuidados. Dos factores de desigualdad de género”. El proyecto fue financiado por el Instituto de la Mujer y para la Igualdad de Oportunidades, con la cofinanciación del Mecanismo Financiero del Es...
Female patterns of labour market participation have undergone major changes in recent decades, in particular, a significant increase in activity rates. Female employment has often been analysed focusing on the woman as the unit of analysis, as if her participation in the labour market were independent of male presences and absences in the productiv...
Resumen El análisis de los relatos como estructuras cognitivas que organizan narrativamente unos determinados acontecimientos biográficos tiene ya una larga tradición en la investigación cualitativa. Típicamente, estos relatos se desarrollan de forma oral o escrita. Sin embargo, existen otros medios de re-construcción narrativa de la trayectoria vi...
