Paid Work and Care Work in Mexico City: the Effects of the Covid-19 Pandemic on Social Inequalities and Conviviality

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: We analyzed the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on social inequalities and conviviality practices in paid work and care work areas in Mexico City. Through an original research and focus groups, we studied the differences between men and women and between women with different characteristics. Our main contribution is that the pandemic has deepened the gaps between groups of women to the detriment of disadvantaged ones who tend to have fewer material and symbolic resources to (re)negotiate convivial configurations inside and outside the home.
