share with you some facts of the working paper of the International Seminar "care economy and Social Security, the investigating authorities are: Amparo Armas, Jackeline Contreras and Alison Vásconez. The event and the investigation is the result of an initiative by several ministries, the IESS itself and the Social Security Institute.
- A general way of treating domestic work, and for consideration at an extra-dimension also domestic support is the use of the concept of care work. This is part of what is called, hereinafter, Economy of Care, to refer to activities to sustain life, whether developed inside or outside the home.
- The unpaid care work is characterized, essentially, be based on care and human relationships and values \u200b\u200bto be generator use (services). A general criterion is that they are activities carried out by and for people from home (also considering some community work or extended households), which are capable of being developed by a third person, and produce marketable goods quasi in the sense that they can share many of them in the market, but with the characteristic of merit goods, ie quasi-public nature.
- These tasks require multiple skills that have been socially assigned to women, on the basis of a generic training from formal education and family. This process of "specialization" is also associated with separation (almost) final between productive and reproductive spheres in advanced capitalism, which causes them to look at home as a non-productive space as the undisputed site of care.
- Linked to this process also estpa marginalization and subordination of those doing domestic work and care (...). These conditions are maintained even when women increasingly have access to opportunities for generation of income and greater economic autonomy, as well as maintaining the social imagination the idea of \u200b\u200bthe male breadwinner.
- unpaid work is essentially intensive care resources: time, space, cash income and skills. It is performed daily and inflexible schedules, and imposes restrictions on the user. Among them, opt for income-generating activities, to take jobs or careers, caring for yourself and have time available. The real costs of this work can be seen, for those who provide, such as lost income, financial costs, missed opportunities and physical deterioration .
