La crisis económica junto con la implementación de medidas desreguladoras en el mercado laboral ha conducido a situaciones de precariedad que se agudizan en el caso de las mujeres. En España, a pesar del incremento de la población activa femenina y el progresivo acercamiento a la tasa de actividad masculina, un análisis más detallado revela que las características de las mujeres en el mercado laboral son más precarias debido a que ocupan más puestos de trabajo temporales, a tiempo parcial, en jornadas atípicas o con un menor sueldo. Junto a estas características señaladas por Guy Standing para definir la precariedad actual, se sitúa la diferente dedicación a los trabajos reproductivos o de cuidado en los hogares que contribuye a que la desigualdad entre mujeres y hombres se agudice. La presente comunicación tiene por objetivo exponer la situación de precariedad de la población laboral femenina en el contexto actual de crisis económica mediante la utilización de indicadores sociales que muestren cómo, a pesar de una mayor participación laboral, la situación de desigualdad y precariedad persiste debido a la persistencia de estereotipos de género relacionados con la consideración del varón como principal sustentador de la familia y a la mujer como sustentadora secundaria y principal cuidadora y encargada de las tareas familiares. The economic crisis, together with the implementation of a number of deregulation measures within the labour market, has led to a precarious situation, namely for women. In Spain, despite the increase in the female active population where figures stand close to those related to men, a detailed analysis reveals that women’s work conditions are still more precarious than men’s. Among the reasons argued to that concern stand the fact that women are more prone to have temporary jobs, part-time positions, atypical work hours, or a lower salary. Besides those characteristics, pointed out by Guy Standing when tackling the current precarious situation, one may also find the different dedication men and women have regarding domestic or child-care matters, which worsens the situation for women. This paper aims at providing a clear picture of the precarious situation of female workforce in the current economic crisis scenario. Through the use of social indicators, it will be argued that, despite having a bigger presence in the labour market, precariousness and inequality still persist given the gender stereotypes linked to men being understood as the family’s main breadwinner and women being felt as secondary breadwinners but main carers and in charge of all house chores.
