Abstract
El objetivo de este estudio es proporcionar un marco para la
investigación sobre trabajo, género y salud que combina el
paradigma clásico de la investigación en riesgos laborales con
la consideración del trabajo como un determinante social de la
salud en un análisis de desigualdades de género que incorpora
otros ejes de desigualdad tanto individuales – clase social –
como contextuales – tipología de estados de bienestar. Se
señalan las limitaciones de la investigación tradicional en salud
laboral desde una perspectiva de género. También se describe
la investigación sobre el trabajo como determinante social de
la salud y sus limitaciones desde la perspectiva de género. La
investigación tradicional en salud laboral ha prestado menos
atención a los problemas de las mujeres. Por otro lado, la
investigación sobre las desigualdades de género en la salud
relacionadas con el trabajo rara vez ha considerado la clase
social de las mujeres o el impacto de las exigencias familiares
en la salud de los hombres. Además, hay poca investigación
comparada entre países con diferentes políticas de mercado
laboral, familia y género. En el futuro, la investigación
tradicional en salud laboral debe considerar el papel del sexo
y del género en el análisis de los riesgos laborales. Además,
se tendrían que utilizar variables que capten los entornos
específicos de trabajo, diversos indicadores de salud y de
hábitos relacionados con la salud. El análisis del trabajo como
determinante social de la salud desde una perspectiva de
género debería tener en cuenta las complejas interacciones
entre el género, los roles familiares, la situación laboral y otros
ejes individuales de desigualdad, así como las tipologías de
estado de bienestar.
The aim of this study is to provide a framework for the research on work, gender y health, combining the classic paradigm of occupational hazards research with the consideration of work as a social determinant of health. We analyze gender inequalities taking into account other axes of inequality: individual ones like social class, y contextual ones like the typology of welfare states. This paper identifies some limitations of traditional research on occupational health from a gender perspective. It also describes the research on work as a social determinant of health y its limitations from a gender point of view. The traditional research on occupational health has paid less attention to the problems of women. On the other hand, research on work-related gender inequalities in health has rarely considered both social class among women, y the impact of family demands on the health of men. Moreover, there is little comparative research between countries with different labor market, family y gender policies. In future research on traditional occupational health, the role of sex y gender should be considered in the analysis of occupational risks. Variables should be used to capture specific work environments as well as several health y health related behaviors indicators. The analysis of work as a social determinant of health from a gender perspective should take into account the complex interactions between gender, family roles, employment status, as well as other individual axes of inequality, y the welfare state typologies.
