CARDOZO, Griselda  and  GONZALEZ, Ana Silvia. Labor trajectories of women from popular sector in transition to adult life. Cienc. Psicol. [online]. 2020, vol.14, n.2, e2210.  Epub May 19, 2020. ISSN 1688-4094.  https://doi.org/10.22235/cp.v14i2.2210.

This work refers to a qualitative study whose propose is to characterize the labor trajectories of young women from popular sectors of Cordoba (Argentina) in their transition to adult life, setting the vulnerability factors that characterize them. We have worked with ten women between the ages of 20 and 26, who were attending two socio labor educational centers, and we have used their biographical stories as an instrument of data collection. The core categories identified as biographical axes related to the role of labor experience were: The inherited socio economic conditions, the gender conditions, the pathways towards the transition education-work and the incidence of labor qualifications in the construction of the future. The results have shown diversity in their insertion to the adult world, setting the equation of being young, women and poor as a barrier which delineates the options and necessities as well as the aspirations and obstacles which arise.

Keywords : woman; young; popular sector; transition to adult life; labor trajectory.
