Abstract

In several capitalist countries, from the 70´s on, a lot of transformation carried out in the extend of the productive system. Those changes were from rigid and standard models of production, based on Taylorism forms to flexible ones. This flexibilization occurred in developed and non-developed countries. The production process become more dynamic, quicker, and with a lot of flexibility, such changes, designated as productive restructuration had a hard and direct influence on the world work market. From the second half of the 70´s, there were hard contract reductions at industries , but the temporary ones grew up, and there was a great rotativity of employees, also there was an evolution of the female workers occupation, and an income reduction, that took place in most of capitalism countries, with some exceptions. Then the productive restruturation and the flexible production regimes made appear several investigations works about their consequences in some countries and regions. So, this paper follows the line investigation of the repercussion that those changes had on the work market, however the main focus in on the local ways of management of the flexibilization and its to show how the flexibility of work and productions here, in this region, seems to be much more precarious than in nationwide and worldwide dimensions. An example that demonstrates this statement is the growing number of people who work at an informal context articulated with the flexibilization characteristics.
