En torno a la incorporación de la mujer al mercado laboral y su impacto en la esfera privada.

At present, the integration of women into public spaces has rapidly grown, after a long history in which, for various reasons, they were excluded. However, even though there are great benefits and achievements due to this entry into professional life, the state, the business world and society in general must endeavor to achieve a healthy balance between work and family life for both, men and women, in order to strengthen the private sphere. Four aspects of this complex topic are reviewed in this article: 1) a brief review of the concept of work throughout history, 2) a quick tour through the history of women in society from the Enlightenment to our days; 3) an analysis of women's contribution to the public sphere and 4) an expose on the current status of women in Mexico as well as an analysis which will show their relegation in the private sphere which is vital to the upbringing of every human being. Finally, a few propositions on the division and sharing of household chores.
