Unpaid domestic and care work in the popular and solidarity economy in Ecuador
Abstract
This article analyzes unpaid domestic and care work in the popular and solidarity economy in Ecuador, because although it is true that in this area women have increased their participation in decision-making and in claiming their rights, household work continues to be a task of unequal distribution between men and women.The report of the National Council for Gender Equality revealed that women work 17:42 hours more than men on a weekly basis, and those who live in rural areas perform even more hours of unpaid work.It is concluded that in the popular and solidarity economy there is no recognition of the domestic and care tasks that fall mainly on women, which has affected their role and participation in leadership spaces, many times they decide to abandon them so as not to neglect their home.In view of this, it is necessary to question the importance of co-responsibility in domestic chores, as well as the exercise of masculinity within the EPS.
Keywords: co-responsibility, popular and solidarity economy, feminist economy, care work.
