Abstract

The objective of this article is analyzing how women who are resident in the Salvador Metropolitan Region (SMR) responded to the phenomenal increase in the local labour market precarization, which had occurred between 1997 and 2003. The thesis defended here is that the changes, which took place in the Brazilian economy, particularly in Bahia, during the 1990s to the 2000s, not only impacted the way of and characteristics for inserting men and women in the SMR labor market in an unequal way (this situation involved a reduction in previously existing structural asymmetries between genders), but also brought important differentiations on the occupational insertion among metropolitan women in this market. Additionally, it is confirmed the hypothesis that women — in the role as daughters — tend to threw themselves into the metropolitan labor market frontiers. It was precisely this group, which less pressured the labor market at the exact moment in which the precarization process stopped being considered serious and started to take on an absolutely alarming character.
