Abstract
This article aims to investigate the multidimensional gender and class segregation patterns in the world of work for the case of the city and metropolitan area of Buenos Aires. In that sense, we will analyse the work experiences of women from popular sectors, focusing on cleaning services and aesthetic occupations. These are the most representative occupations and also one of the most unfavourable in the labour market (in terms of salary and working conditions). Based on an research program that we have been developing since 2009, we seek not only to characterize these occupations, but also the way in which workers move among them and the meanings attributed to this mobility.
