The objective of this paper is to study the social construction of one of the mechanisms for the social reproduction of domestic groups, known as multi-activity work and carried out by members of rural or urban domestic units (DU). This mechanism is the result of implementing local solutions to the problem of social reproduction in domestic groups and is related to the creation or expansion of economic activities other than agriculture and the establishment of local job markets and social agreements, all of which have been taking place continuously since the seventies in the Municipality of Nealtican, in Puebla, Mexico. The results presented are attained by means of Complex Systems methodology.

Keywords : Complex Systems; social reproduction mechanisms; domestic units rural and urban; multi-activity; Social aspects; housekeeping; rural development; urban development; Puebla (Mexico).
