Impacto del ámbito laboral de la mujer en la dinámica familiar y desarrollo de los hijos, sitio San Agustín - 2024

Abstract

This research focused on analyzing the impact of women's employment on family dynamics and the integral development of children in the San Agustín community during 2024. The objective was to identify the family organization strategies implemented by working women, evaluate the effects of female labor insertion on children's socio-emotional development, and characterize the community support networks that sustain family dynamics. The study followed a qualitative approach, allowing for a deep understanding of the experiences and realities of women working under precarious conditions, mainly in the informal sector. The sample consisted of 15 families selected based on specific criteria related to the mothers’ employment status and the presence of young children. Data collection instruments included interviews and participant observation, through which issues such as role overload, lack of work-family reconciliation policies, and the emotional impact on children were identified. Based on the findings, a proposal titled “Support Guide for Working Women” was developed, aimed at improving family organization, strengthening parenting skills, and promoting more favorable environments for child development. The proposal consists of structured phases with technically, economically, and socially feasible resources, also promoting gender equity and the strengthening of community bonds.
