“…The intensification of work was accomplished mainly by the incorporation of adult women, especially married women with children and domestic commitments, reversing the predominance of young, single, and rather educated women, into the ranks of workers. Anthropological studies showed this (Gonzilez de la Rocha, 1988; Barrig, 1993;Moser, 1989), and it was later confirmed by statistical analyses of national-based data (Garcia and Oliveira, 1994). Apart from adult women, young males-sonsalso increased their participation in the labor market.…”

“…Whether seen as &dquo;a locus of competing interests, rights, obligations and resources&dquo; (Moore, 1994), a site of &dquo;cooperative conflict&dquo; (Sen, 1991), or a contradictory social unit in which conflicting interests and unequal access to resources coexist (Gonzdlez de la Rocha, 1994a), the household is not a black box. Conflicts, inequalities, and differential income distribution within households have been the subjects of analysis (Garcia and Oliveira, 1994;Blumberg, 1995;Chant, 1996), and this substantive advance has allowed us to see households' changing nature vis-A-vis historical and economic change and their internal differentiation along axes of age and gender (Sen, 1993).…”

“…This intensification of female work was accomplished mainly through the incorporation of adult women, especially married women with children, and the intensification of their domestic commitments, reversing the earlier predominance of young, single, and educated women in the ranks of female workers. Anthropological studies first revealed this shift (González de la Rocha 1988; Barrig 1993;Moser 1989), which was later confirmed by statistical analyses of nationally representative data (García and Oliveira 1994).…”

This article attempts to generate a new understanding of economic change and household responses in Mexico. It reflects on the changing conditions of survival and reproduction among the Mexican urban working poor in a socioeconomic context of diminishing incomegenerating opportunities. The author argues that rising poverty has had serious effects on dimensions (beyond economic) of the lives of the poor-in particular, the erosion of the capacity of the poor to maintain networks of social exchange. The author strongly argues in favor of diachronic analyses of economic transformations and their impact on household dynamics to capture social and family processes that are not fully understood by synchronic views of household life and livelihoods. The diachronic view allowed the author to show the limits of the strategies of survival and the inadequate explanations resulting from views that uncritically assume the endlessness of resources in the hands of the poor.

“…Following the above mentioned perspective, in another study of women's paid work and its associated factors (Garcia and Oliveira, 1994), we explored the influence of the number and age of children on female economic activity, using information on accumulated fertility and employment at the time of the survey. We found that in some cases women with a smaller number of children were more likely to engage in extradomestic work, but that this did not hold for women of working-classes in times of economic adversity.…”
