MAGLIANO, María José. Gender Division of Labor in Community Work. Peruvian Migrants, Informality and the Reproduction of Life in Córdoba, Argentina. rev.estud.soc. [online]. 2019, n.70, pp.88-99. ISSN 0123-885X.  https://doi.org/10.7440/res70.2019.08.

This article inquires about the ways of organizing community work involving male and female migrants who inhabit urban relegation neighborhoods in the city of Córdoba (Argentina). In particular, and based on the theoretical contributions of feminist economics and the results of qualitative field work with the Peruvian migrant population in Córdoba, it reflects upon the division and hierarchical organization of gender roles in community work. The main argument is that, in contexts of increasing informalization of migrant daily life, the community turns out to be a factor for sustaining and consolidating the spaces where a large group of regional migrants resides as well as a factor of neighborhood and family subsistence.
