Trabajos del cuidado y evaluación de desempeño : aportes desde las voces de madres trabajadoras de la ciudad de Medellín - Antioquia

Abstract

RESUMEN: La incorporación masiva de las mujeres al mundo laboral no ha sido acompañada por una reorganización equitativa de los trabajos de cuidado en el hogar, lo que ha generado una doble presencia en las madres debido a que asumen responsabilidades adicionales en el hogar que no se tienen en cuenta al momento de evaluar su desempeño en las empresas. Esta investigación busca comprender las narrativas que construyen madres trabajadoras con hijos e hijas menores de edad en torno a la evaluación del desempeño en empresas con políticas de inclusión y diversidad de la ciudad de Medellín. Desde un enfoque cualitativo se realizaron entrevistas a profundidad que evidenciaron de manera general una sobrecarga de trabajo en las participantes para poder cumplir con las exigencias en su vida familiar y laboral, lo que da cuenta de los desafíos que aún se tienen en materia de políticas laborales que promuevan la equidad de género y el bienestar en las madres trabajadoras. ABSTRACT: The massive incorporation of women into the workforce has not been accompanied by an equitable reorganization of caregiving tasks at home, which has created a double precence for mothers due to taking on additional responsibilities at home that are not taken in to account when evaluating their performance in companies. This research aims to comprehend the narratives that working mothers with underaged kids build around the performance evaluation in companies with inclusion and diversity policies in the city of Medellín. From a qualitative perspective, in-depth interviews were conducted, which generally revealed a workload overload on the participants in order to meet the demands of their family and in the workplace lives, surfacing the challenges that still exist in the matter of labor policies that promote gender equity and the well-being of working mothers.
