Abstract

This research, carried out in middle schools in the city of Chihuahua, has as object of study the vulnerability derived from the theoretical assumptions regarding gender perspective: Productive (paid) and Reproductive (unpaid work in households of the teachers, administrative and support staff). The study parts from a broader institutional project carried out in federalized schools in basic education. The questionnaire of the National Survey on the use of time 2009 prepared by the National Institute of Statistics and Geography from a gender perspective was modified. Out of a total of 1200 instruments, 300 were applied in middle school. Because this study focuses primarily on determining the vulnerability derived from Productive and Reproductive work, the dimensions managed were: socio-demographic characteristics, decision-making and social, school and work activities. The results show that human vulnerability (in a nuclear family, social, economic, labor rights), matches those of the roles and aspects assigned by gender, primarily those developed by women.
