Abstract
Este proyecto de investigación se centra en el estudio de la factibilidad de un proyecto de
emprendimiento social en el municipio de Suesca Cundinamarca, enfocado en mujeres
trabajadoras en cultivos de flores. Las mujeres son las protagonistas de los trabajos de cuidado;
dedican más horas a labores domésticas en comparación con los hombres, además del tiempo
empleado en trabajos formales. Estos trabajos de cuidado no son tradicionalmente remunerados
situación que se acentúa en zonas rurales como las del municipio de Suesca. En este, muchas
mujeres son empleadas en cultivo de flores siendo una de las pocas opciones laborales que
existen para una población con bajos niveles de escolaridad e ingresos. La investigación realiza
una revisión de la literatura sobre la importancia de los cuidados dentro de la economía
identificando su relación con la economía feminista, el emprendimiento social y la economía
solidaria y analizando las condiciones para el desarrollo de un proyecto productivo para esta
población. Se aplicó una encuesta en diferentes empresas del sector a una muestra de mujeres,
con el fin de conocer las principales necesidades y expectativas en tono a sus trabajos de cuidado
y la idea de emprender a partir de sus condiciones particulares y las del contexto en que se
encuentran.
