MARIOLI, Eliana Margarita. Ruptures and continuities between the public, private and domestic in a pandemic. Trab. soc. [online]. 2023, vol.24, n.40, pp.399-412. Epub 01-Ene-2023. ISSN 1514-6871.
This article seeks to discuss the novelty of the tensions between work and care in the private- domestic sphere. How the current pandemic context made visible the tension between paid and unpaid work, the constant complexity of reconciling caregiving and household tasks with employment. The home office has gained great notoriety, to the point of seeming to ignore its pre-existence.
To address this issue, two groups from different sectors of the economy were selected to try to answer the questions that lead to the preparation of this article. The methodology is qualitative in nature, based on conducting ten in-depth interviews with 5 members of each sector: home seamstresses and teleworkers from the software industry, both groups from the city of Mar del Plata located in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
For all of the above, it is extremely important to incorporate the intersectional perspective to understand this phenomenon, taking into account that it affects two working-class groups but with completely different characteristics. One composed mainly of women, who historically were in charge of the tasks involved in the private sphere, and another that includes male middle-class workers as social actors who are immersed in a historically feminine circumstance, such as work in the workplace. home.
