Female work commutation in the Region of Biobio. An exploratory analysis focused from the gender perspective

Abstract

Work commutation is understood as the separation of working and consumption places. It is usually studied as a male phenomenon and/or in relation to local economies. It emerges as a relevant question when asking about the situation in which the women of the Bio Bio Region are to be found: How many women move and where? Which are the economic and working sectors that demand them? The data, analyzed from a theoretical and conceptual framework derived from a gender perspective, offer new questions to better understand the personal, social, cultural and labor factors that condition the probabilities of women moving from one place to another.
