| Sumario: | This paper analyzes the daily material experiences registered among informal women workers in San Salvador de Jujuy in order to consider the conditions of autonomy of working women from popular sectors in northwestern Argentina. It explores three dimensions: the choices and possibilities for mobility to their jobs; the production of housing in the post-pandemic period as value-producing and life-reproducing space; and the use of their time as a continuum in paid and unpaid ways. The research is based on the results from a survey conducted in the capital city center during the pandemic period (fourth quarter of 2021). Results show that women workers in Jujuy invest many hours of their daily lives in moving around the city and generating income to maintain their households. That, in terms of care, they sustain the almost complete familiarization and feminization of the burdens. Also, that what may be seen a priori as autonomy of mobility, is at the same time a reduction of time margins for oneself and the individual. Finally, that, although they are responsible for communal/community responsibilities, they do not have individual resources for autonomous mobility in the city. |
