Abstract
JACOB, Analía; PALERMO, María Laura; REMORINI, Carolina and ROMERO GOZZI, Paloma. Organización social y relaciones de cooperación para el cuidado infantil en una población rural del Noroeste Argentino. Poblac. soc. [online]. 2021, vol.28, n.2, pp.168-199. ISSN 0328-3445. http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.19137/pys-2021-280209.
We describe relationships and resources involved in the social organization of childcare in a rural community, based on qualitative data obtained within the framework of an ethnographic research. Social support for caretaking comes mainly from parental ties, intergenerational and intragender cooperation and complementarity, and to a lesser extent, from domestic and institutional ties, the choice of which combines personal attributes, location, accessibility and trust. Evidence is provided on strategies and forms of social organization of sectors of the population that have been scarcely studied to serve as a basis for public policies to address diverse lifestyles.
