Abstract

La rotación de la pirámide poblacional y el incremento de la participación laboral femenina constituyen factores que impactan al empleo doméstico en Argentina. Mediante un enfoque novedoso, que analiza la oferta y la demanda de estos servicios, este trabajo busca brindar información que permita un mejor diseño de políticas públicas para mejorar la situación de aquellos que intervienen en este mercado. Se estudia la relación de los empleados domésticos con la informalidad, la pobreza, la inmigración y el género. Se hacen simulaciones de pobreza ante cambios en los ingresos de los empleados domésticos, y un análisis del vínculo entre remuneraciones y salario mínimo. Asimismo, se caracteriza a los demandantes de estos servicios desde cuatro enfoques: Ingresos, Geografía, Educación y Género. Se observa que la creencia de estar en una posición social más alta (o baja) que el resto podría jugar un papel tan importante como el nivel de ingresos en la demanda de estas prestaciones. El estudio sugiere que el salario mínimo podría estar siendo un punto de referencia a la hora de pactar contratos en el mercado formal e informal, y que la cuestión de género tiene implicancias tanto en la oferta como en la demanda de estos servicios.
