Domestic and care work in dual-earner couples: Comparative analysis of Spain, Argentina and Chile This article analyses the unpaid household work gender gap in Spain, Argentina and Chile. Specifically, this study explores the distribution of domestic and care work among household members and examines in depth the relevant factors of women's and men's participation in this work. Employing time use surveys (Spanish EET-2010, Argentinian TRN-2013 and Chilean ENUT-2015), a regression model is estimated for a sample of dual-income couples. Additionally, the study analyses the macrosocial factors that affect the gender gap. The results show that women perform 70% of domestic and care work and confirm the weakness of the variables related to relative resources, thus suggesting the need to incorporate the gender role perspective and structural, institutional, and cultural factors in explaining gender gaps in unpaid work. The relevance of women's time availability and income contribution points to the importance of actions aimed at promoting the economic independence of women and strengthening legal frameworks that protect equal pay conditions for women. These elements are key to explaining men's and women's decisions on how to distribute their time between paid and unpaid work in Spain, Argentina and Chile.

Este artículo presenta resultados derivados del proyecto "Trayectorias y memorias de investigación: testimonios y aproximaciones narrativas a la investigación en Trabajo Social" (Nº 11130401), financiado por el Fondo Nacional de Desarrollo Científico y Tecnológico (FONDECYT) de la Comisión Nacional de Investigación Científica y Tecnológica de Chile (CONICYT) ResumenEste artículo analiza y discute la forma en que se ha construido la relación entre el Trabajo Social y los derechos humanos en Chile. Para lograr lo anterior se recurre a los elementos del enfoque biográfico-narrativo y a los testimonios de profesionales que se desempeñaron en este ámbito durante la dictadura cívico-militar. A través de esta aproximación se re-significa el concepto de trabajo en derechos humanos, incluyendo una mirada intergeneracional que considera nuevas perspectivas en torno a los enfoques de derechos y su relación con las políticas sociales. A partir de los hallazgos se discuten las posibilidades de integrar en el ejercicio y en la reflexión profesional una aproximación de este tipo en torno a los derechos humanos, que incluya los aportes de las distintas generaciones en contexto de postdictadura en Chile. El trabajo concluye ilustrando algunos desafíos para el abordaje de nuevas problemáticas que suponen un reposicionamiento de este enfoque y una ampliación de sus alcances, lo que implica incluir a colectivos y a fenómenos sociales hasta este momento no considerados. Abstract This article analyses and discusses how the relationship between Social Work and human rights has been constructed in Chile. In order to achieve this, we incorporate elements of the biographicalnarrative approach along with testimonies from professionals that worked in this field during the civicmilitary dictatorship. Based on this approach, the concept of human rights work is redefined including an intergenerational viewpoint that takes into account new perspectives concerning the rights approaches and their relation to social policies. We discuss the implications of the findings, integrating an intergenerational approach on human rights both within the professional practice and reflection IntroducciónEste artículo desarrolla algunos contenidos acerca de la relación histórica entre el trabajo social chileno y las perspectivas de derechos humanos, prestando atención a dos puntos de observación que se analizan y tensionan: 1) la actuaciones profesionales desarrolladas en el contexto de dictadura tras las graves violaciones de derechos, y la forma en que estas forjaron parte (o una parte) de la identidad de los trabajadores sociales, y 2) las

Based on their research experiences, three female Chilean researchers from the capital city and the north of the country reflect on political trauma and violence, poverty and exclusion, and the processes underlying the mobility of Colombian women in Chile’s northern border. In all of these research areas, “the sensitive” not only becomes a research topic but also confronts both researchers and participants as the main characters of a particular and socially situated relationship. Through their research experiences, proposals, devices, and several methodological strategies for addressing these issues are critically presented, with an emphasis on what qualitative research makes possible, challenges, questions, and faces.

This article presents a reflection of how processes to reconcile work-life balance among academic mothers have changed during COVID-19. We present three autobiographical narratives that explore adapting and adjusting to research and teaching during remote work, confinement, and caring for one’s children. Intertwined in these narratives are themes of disruptions, responsibilities, and discoveries through these processes to adapt to COVID-19 and ongoing social and political crises.
