Abstract

[eng] The Professional and Household Activities of Working Class Women - This study, which is based on the results of the survey «Work Schedules » of 1975 attempts to show the specific characteristics of the schedules of the wives of blue-collar workers as compared with those of the wives of white-collar workers or executives. The number of hours devoted to household activities and professional work is studied in function of the women concerned : their age and their family responsabilities, their cultural background, and the kind of job held. Thus, for working-class wives the presence of children brings about, to a greater extent than for other social categories, an increase in the time devoted to house hold activities and a corresponding reduction in the amount of salaried labor. Moreover, within the working class, there are sharp differences depending on whether the wife comes from a city or a country background. The study, on the other hand, provides information on the way in which household work is divided up, depending on the situation of the wives, into four main areas : preparing meals, cleaning and maintenance, taking care of the children, and errands and shopping. [spa] Actividades profesional y casera de las mujeres de medio ambiente obrero - El estudio que estriba en los resultados de la encuesta « Emploi du temps » (Horario) de 1975 tiene por objeto poner de manifiesto las especifidades del horario de las esposas de obreros, horario equiparado con el de las esposas de empleados y de cuadros dirigentes. El tiempo semanal dedicado a labores caseras y al trabajo profesional esta examinado con arreglo a la posición de las interesadas : edad y cargas familiares, origen cultural, naturaleza del oficio. Así pues, entre las esposas de obreros la presencia de hijos remata, más que en los demás hogares, en un incremento de tiempo dedicado a las labores caseras, a la par que a una aminoración del tiempo dedicado al trabajo remunerado. Además, en el medio ambiente obrero, se pueden comprobar netamente desemejanzas según si la esposa es de origen urbano o rural. El estudio facilita además indicaciones acerca de la manera en que el tiempo dedicado a la faena de casa esta distribuido, según posición de las mujeres frente a las cuatro funciones principales : preparación de las comidas, limpieza y mantenimiento de la casa, cuidado de los hijos y compra. [fre] L'étude, qui s'appuie sur les résultats de l'enquête « Emploi du temps » de 1975 a pour but de mettre en évidence les spécificités de l'emploi du temps des femmes d'ouvrier comparé à celui des femmes d'employé ou de cadre. La durée hebdomadaire consacrée aux activités domestiques et au travail professionnel est considérée en fonction de la situation des femmes intéressées : âge et charges familiales, origine culturelle, nature du métier exercé. Ainsi chez les femmes d'ouvrier la présence d'enfants entraîne, plus que dans les autres milieux sociaux, un accroissement du temps consacré aux activités ménagères, parallèlement à une réduction du temps de travail salarié. De plus, au sein du milieu ouvrier, on constate des différences très nettes selon que l'épouse est d'origine citadine ou rurale. L'étude, d'autre part, apporte des indications sur la façon dont le temps de travail domestique se répartit, selon la situation des femmes, entre les quatre principales fonctions : préparation des repas, nettoyage et entretien, soins aux enfants, courses et achats.
