Abstract

Informality has found increasingly solid foundations for precariousness in the face of the deepening crisis and structural unemployment faced by the country. The diarists are part of this field as workers who carry out their activities without formal contracts, to the extent that the activity is a metamorphosis of domestic employment in the face of changes in the world of work. The aim of this research is to investigate and reflect on the meanings and representations produced by these
women about their daily working lives, and to establish a brief discussion in the light of feminist theory. To do this, we used a qualitative approach in which we carried out semi-structured interviews with six women, where the precariousness and subalternity of the activity in the face of a scenario of wear and tear became evident, insofar as the interviewees said they did more than one cleaning a day. Despite this, the fact of being a day laborer appears to be a positive element as it creates conditions for them to be better paid than employees with formal contracts, which also reveals a possible condition of precariousness in CLT contracts.
