Las mujeres inmigrantes subsaharianas y el mundo laboral en la Regi´ón de Murcia: exclusión y estrategias comunitarias e individuales de inserción laboral

Abstract

With the growth of migration in recent decades, immigrant women from the countries of the South have entered the world of work. Like men, job opportunities motivate many sub-Saharan women to undertake personal or collective migration projects towards other socio-economic contexts. For a long time their presence and their role in migratory movements have left indifferent researchers and researchers in social sciences who reflected in their studies only migrations from the perspective of man, that is, male. For her husband to follow or go alone, having a job is also a priority. They have been kept in work and social invisibility. This paper focuses primarily on the discrimination suffered by sub-Saharan immigrant women residing in the Region of Murcia. Second, it deals with the migration of these women in the last decades outside their countries of origin. And thirdly, it is analysed how, despite discrimination and stereotypes of the residence society, they develop personal and/or collective strategies to obtain employment in a dual and ethnified market, and therefore discriminatory.
