Abstract
SOLIS, Marlene. La precarización del trabajo desde una perspectiva sociocultural en un contexto fronterizo. Región y sociedad [online]. 2014, vol.26, n.59, pp.81-112. ISSN 2448-4849.
This article analyzes the configuration of the garment industry labor market in Tijuana. The structural factors which generate job insecurity are identified, and, depending on personal experiences, different profiles are reconstructed for male and female workers. The analysis proposed seeks to show the way in which the micro-, mezzo- and macrosocial scales intertwine, reproducing or producing the conditions of job insecurity that prevail in this industry. The experience of job insecurity is seen from a sociocultural perspective, giving a central role to the personal meanings of work.
Keywords : job insecurity; migration and gender; garment industry; maquiladoras; northern border.
