“…Estas definiciones son una base para evaluar las tasas de empleo y desempleo, entre otros indicadores de productividad de un país. Por el contrario, el trabajo no remunerado no es contabilizado como insumo productivo por la UNSNA (United Nations System of National Accounts) y, por lo general, no es medido (Hoskyns y Rai, 2007;Waring, 2008). Entonces, el trabajo que no es medido no es considerado como una contribución oficial a la economía.…”

“…Esto significa que tanto el trabajo realizado en la esfera pública, que es usualmente remunerado, así como el realizado en la esfera doméstica, que en general no es remunerado, son indispensables para que una sociedad exista y se reproduzca. Así, el feminismo se opone a la definición de trabajo restringida a trabajo remunerado únicamente, postulando que el trabajo involucrado en la reproducción social debe ser contabilizado como trabajo y como parte de la economía (Hoskyns y Rai, 2007). Esto es, la reproducción de la vida social depende tanto de lo producido en la esfera pública y economía formal, como del trabajo doméstico y lo no remunerado (Glucksmann, 1990).…”

ResumenEste artículo vincula género, trabajo y cárcel para problematizar variadas formas de integración a la sociedad y al mercado laboral. Se analiza el caso de mujeres recluidas por micro-tráfico en el sistema penitenciario chileno. El estudio se basa en 30 entrevistas semi-estructuradas realizadas a reclusas del CPF Santiago durante el año 2013, explorando la trayectoria laboral y la definición de trabajo de mujeres privadas de libertad. Esta investigación visibiliza la situación de mujeres marginadas en múltiples dimensiones y muestra cómo las actividades ilegales y la posición social de estas mujeres cuestionan y reproducen el orden social. Se ilustra así la estandarización del trabajo moderno y modos atípicos de participación laboral, problematizando formas emergentes de integración en el capitalismo flexible. Palabras claves: cárcel, género, orden social, reclusas, trabajo. AbstractThis paper explores the relation between gender, work and incarceration by problematizing the various ways in which women seek to integrate into the labour market. We analyse the case of women prisoners in Chile who have been convicted of micro-trafficking. The methodology is based on 30 semi-structured interviews with women prisoners in Santiago in 2013. We explore their work trajectories and their definitions of work. The study visualizes the situation of marginalized women in multiple dimensions, showing how their illegal activities and their social position (re)produce and contest the social order. The study illustrates the standardization of modern work by highlighting atypical forms of labour participation, and problematizes ways in which women try to integrate themselves under flexible capitalism.

“…Much has been written about the importance of this anomaly -of excluding most of the work within the home as unproductive labour -and its harmful effects (Waring, 1988;Picchio, 1992;Fraser, 2017;Hoskyns and Rai, 2007). This literature challenges not only the domination of the marketwhat counts is what can be commodified and exchanged -but also of gendered relations that reflect the (public) world of men but not the (private) world of women's labour.…”

“…There are notable exceptions to these silences in IPE. A growing number of feminist scholars work through the lens of gender, analysing the impact of gender relations and gender identities on (unpaid) work (Elias & Ferguson, 2010;Herrera, 2008;Hoskyns & Rai, 2007;Salzinger, 2003), including the role of gender in tourism work in developing countries (Chin, 2008;Ferguson, 2010a;Ferguson 2010b;Ferguson, 2011;Sinclair, 1997). Ferguson's research is particularly interesting as it documents the rise of global capitalism through tourism development and the impact this has on gender equality, employment opportunities for women and the changing consumption patterns of local people in LDCs (Ferguson, 2011).…”

International tourism is now the predominant industry driving growth in many small island developing states (SIDS). Governments of small islands in the Indian Ocean, Caribbean and Pacific have seemingly put most of their eggs into one development basket -the all-inclusive holiday in a luxury hotel, resort or cruise ship. While this industry generates employment, foreign direct investment, and income for island governments and the private sector, it also brings with it dependencies which are borne from the transnational ownership of these allinclusive accommodations, the risks from exogenous factors -many of which are tied to the wider security of the global system -as well as the domestic economies in the source markets in Europe and North America. We reflect upon these dependencies and risks through a case study of the Seychelles based on fieldwork research conducted in 2012. Our findings highlight that the international tourism industry in the Seychelles -even in a situation of high or growing demand -creates structurally driven precarity for tourism workers who are predominantly low paid, low-skilled, and increasingly recruited from overseas. These findings provide new evidence that contributes to the growing research into tourism in IPE.Our findings highlights the precarious condition of labour in this fast growing service sector of the world economy and in so doing also adds much needed empirical insights from the South to recent debates about an emerging precariat in contemporary capitalism.
