Doble jornada y salud, costureras de las cooperativas del programa "¡Qué buena puntada!" STFE-DF

Abstract

This work relates the “double day” work with the cooperative partner women with their health problems. The investigation has two stages (2008 and 2012). The first stage was realized with four unions; two different for the second stage. The workshops are in their homes and are characterized by poor working conditions. These sewing workers are subject to a simultaneous “double day”. In assessing the intensity of domestic work, was taken into account their family composition, by a factor of assessments of the amount of implementation tasks it performs. It was found that among workers who participated in the first stage, the average intensity was 26.8 and 24.1, in the second with significant differences compared to males in both stages. By grouping into six intensity levels of a domestic day (in two steps), 40% of women were in the three groups with greater intensity and 80% of men in both groups of lesser intensity. Morbidity rates generally were higher for women than for men in all diagnoses, except for musculoskeletal disorders. A diagnosis can relate “double day” work is pathological fatigue, which was more common among women with rates of 32.1 and 21.2 100, compared with 19.2 and 12.9 for males. Stress also can relate to the synergy of the tasks of paid and domestic work, and in this study it was found that among them was 24.1 and 44.2 compared with 22.6 in August and between them. This research made visible health problems that area related to women's “double day”.
