The family and the construction of work positioning in women. An analysis from Social Work

Abstract

This contribution is an initial analysis of a study aimed at forming a theoretical conceptual reference of the category of work positioning. It is part of understanding that work positioning is an observable fact as a result of a reflexive process of social subjects, from the constraint of structure and action, as a result of their own agency strategies that have allowed them to be visible in a space such as the labor market. It is proposed that the process of motivation, intention and reflection made by three women participants in this study, from their family circumstances, were a platform for the construction of their work positioning. As a method discursive analysis constitutes an approach that, from Social Work and gender, allows the understanding of the family dynamics as experiences that dynamize actions in the social subjects and for this case in the women as agents that, in the private areas and public, manage to transform tax roles and ideas of inequality in the pursuit of their realization and well-being from the work positioning.
