Participación feminina no mercado de traballo desde un enfoque interxeracional*

Abstract

[Resumo] As mulleres foron incorporándose de maneira notable á denominada esfera pública desde finais do século XX en España, mais non sucedeu o mesmo no tocante aos homes e o ámbito privado. No entanto, dentro da poboación masculina podemos salientar o colectivo dos avós, polo rápido proceso de cambio que está a experimentar ao se incorporar ao sistema de coidados, en concreto, de nenos e nenas. Denominamos este proceso a «revolución dos avós». Aínda que son as avoas as que desenvolven en maior medida as tarefas mencionadas, os avós están a mudar o seu rol de xénero. No artigo analízase a bibliografía máis relevante neste ámbito, para estudar despois as causas e consecuencias máis importantes do devandito proceso de cambio, así como os principais perigos que se poden derivar del.

[Abstract] Women have largely incorporated into the so-called public sphere since the end of the twentieth century in Spain, but it has not been the case of men into the private area. However, within the male population, the collective of grandfathers may be highlight, due to the fast process of change experienced. This group has been incorporated into the care system, specifically care children. We have called this process “grandfathers’ revolution.” Although grandmothers are developing further these tasks, grandfathers are experiencing a change in their gender role. The relevant literature on this topic has been discussed in this article. Subsequently, the most relevant causes and consequences of this change process have been studied as well as the main risks that can be derived from it.
