As relações de gênero na exploração do combustível lenhoso: o estudo de caso do posto administrativo de Inchope, 1992 - 2004

Abstract

The present work aims to analyze the articulation between the participation of the woman in the exploitation of the woody fuel and the genre relations in the family, at the administrative position of Inchope, during the period from 1992 to 2004. In order to achieve the intended objective used bibliographic research, semi-structured interviews and direct observation. The combination of the sources used can affirm that the participation of the woman in the exploitation of the wood fuel must be analyzed taking into account the place of exploitation and production of the wood fuel, the division of work at the level of the family and the tasks that the woman plays and which guarantee the success of man's work. Although there are different responsibilities there is a mutual dependence, exchange of favors and cooperation between man and woman. In the exploitation of the woody fuel there is a joint work, where the woman participates in almost all stages of production with the exception of the sale of production performed by the family. However, although this does not participate directly on sale, the income achieved by man alone does not meet the needs of the family, which is why they have to resort to other activities essentially developed by the woman. The conjugation of monetary and in kind yields of both parties aid in the subsistence of the family(TRADUÇÃO NOSSA)
