From work to welfare : the response of the Peruvian state to the feminization of emergency work
Employment ; Employment policy ; Female work ; Peru ; Poverty ; State control ; Welfare state ; Woman
The paper explores the ways in which the convergence of economic crises and gendered processes of globalization have created a new role for states and new scenarios for women's paid work. It examines the feminization of state-backed employment
programmes in Peru. The relationship between feminization and the state is analyzed. The contradictory conceptualization of work embodied in state-backed initiatives is interrogated. Through empirical archive and interview based research it examines
the implications of the move from a rethoric of providing work for men to one that emphasized welfare aid for women.
