Women's labor trajectories in the case of Calzado Amada de Guadalajara

Abstract

In this paper we take as a context the current trends in the urban labor market in Mexico, whose occupational structure has been modified as a result of productive restructuring. Within this framework, our purpose is to show how labor trajectories are constructed and the importance of the processes of transmission of the trade through the family, through five cases of women footwear workers. We start from the most relevant theoretical perspectives, whose main foundation is sociological theory, particularly within the institutionalist theory of labor markets: the model of structuring institutions proposed by Ludger Pries (1997 and 2000) as part of the new proposals for analysis.
