AYALA CORDOVA, Jorge. Fishing development guidelines, socioeconomic agents and work experiences in the Bio‐bio region of Chile. Trab. soc. [online]. 2022, vol.23, n.38, pp.69-95.  Epub Jan 01, 2022. ISSN 1514-6871.

This article analyzes the processes of socio-economic articulation of fishing activity in the Biobío region of Chile, based on the experiences of those who participate in the exploitation of native fishing resources. For the development of this research, 14 individuals were interviewed (union leaders), all of them linked to industrial and semi-industrial fishing activity, with the purpose of seeking to contrast the effects that institutional policies have brought to a sectoral scale. Furthermore, using the theory of substantive economics and property regimes, it was sought to analyze the social impacts that neoliberal policies bring to fishing activity and how subordinate agents experienced the sectoral crisis and the dispute processes between actors and the fishing industry. The main conclusions of this study are that the development model has not only impacted on the material living conditions of fishing agents, but has also generated meaningful changes in the level of labor relations, socioeconomic and socio-productive among the different sectoral actors.

Keywords : Fisheries development; socioeconomic agents; property regimes; work experience; union actors.
