The industrial structure was one of the fundamental elements of the conditions for the development of social struggles in the city of León, Guanajuato, in the second half of the 20th century . The study of the existing industrial structure and, particularly, the predominant branch of production in this city since the forties, is the production of footwear. The developed concrete figure reached in it is the factory system, which determines the whole of Leon’s industrial production. This manufacturing system showed a qualitative division and the quantitative proportionality of the machinery system, which nevertheless presents imperfections in its development that are expressed in the peculiarities of that industrial structure.
