    Capítulo 6. Economía del cuidado en mujeres de la Agricultura Campesina Familiar, Étnica y Comunitaria vinculadas al nodo Cundinamarca de la Red Nacional de Agricultura Familiar (renaf)

    This work has an exploratory research approach, with the purpose of providing an approximate overview of rural women’s perception of the care economy, in order to provide some recommendations that contribute to the reduction of the gender gap. A research was developed from secondary sources, as well as with primary sources from the work with women belonging to the National Network of Family Agriculture (renaf) of the Cundinamarca node, seeking to show what their perceptions are regarding the care economy, for which surveys and semi-structured interviews were developed, carrying out a case study research. It was concluded that these rural women work approximately 17 hours a day, distributed between productive and reproductive work. They recognize that care work is inequitably distributed in their homes, but they still feel that it is their responsibility to develop it and see it as a “help” when their partners or sons and daughters are involved in the development of these activities, so they put their family’s activities before their interests, and for this reason they do not see a redistribution of care activities in their homes as possible, and as the opportunity cost assumed by them is increasing every day. Although these women do not recognize what activities are being carried out by actors such as renaf, the governor’s office and municipal mayors’ offices to recognize, reduce and redistribute care activities, they are aware that efforts should be strengthened to increase awareness and training for both rural women and men in order to advance towards the 3Rs.
