description Introduction: Research has shown that the permanence of the migrant population in Argentina can generate certain improvements in their living conditions. The article is developed from the analysis of the diverse trajectories that migrant women, domestic workers, have when they remain in the country. Objective: The article proposes to reconstruct, in retrospect, the different movements in the trajectories of migrant women, both inside and outside the domestic work sector. It examines the limitations and possibilities of the local context and the meanings that migrant domestic workers give to labor circulations. Methodology: The article is based on a qualitative research developed in AMBA and Córdoba, that includes 40 in-depth interviews with migrant women who are or were domestic workers at some point in their labor trajectories. Results: Three types of mobility are considered: horizontal mobility within domestic sector, intermittent inputs and outputs within the sector, and the ultimate exit. In each case, the article emphasizes the viewpoints of the workers themselves. Conclusions: The results show the importance of the linkage between paid and unpaid domestic work. It also sets out three main issues: firstly, that leaving the domestic work does not always mean «improving» from the perspective of the workers themselves; secondly, that one can «improve» by being a domestic worker; and, thirdly, that there are trajectories of upward social mobility among migrant domestic workers.

El artículo se desarrolla a partir del análisis de las diversas trayectorias que tienen las mujeres migrantes, trabajadoras domésticas, cuando permanecen en el país. Objetivo: El trabajo propone reconstruir, de manera retrospectiva, los diferentes movimientos en las trayectorias de las mujeres migrantes, tanto dentro como hacia afuera del sector del trabajo doméstico. Se intentan vislumbrar las limitaciones y posibilidades del contexto local y analizar los propios sentidos que las trabajadoras le otorgan a estas circulaciones. Metodología: El artículo se basa en una investigación cualitativa que incluye 40 entrevistas en profundidad a mujeres migrantes, en AMBA y Córdoba, que son o fueron empleadas domésticas en algún momento de su trayectoria laboral. Resultados: Se reconstruyen tres formas de movilidad: la movilidad horizontal dentro del sector, las formas de salida intermitente y la salida definitiva. En cada una de ellas, el análisis se centra en la perspectiva de las propias trabajadoras. Conclusiones: Los resultados reflejan la importancia de la articulación entre trabajo doméstico remunerado y no remunerado. Asimismo, permite dar cuenta de tres cuestiones principales: en primer lugar, que salir del entorno del trabajo doméstico no siempre significa «mejorar» desde la perspectiva de las propias trabajadoras; en segundo lugar, que se puede «mejorar» siendo trabajadora doméstica; y, en tercer lugar, que existen trayectorias de movilidad social ascendente entre las mujeres migrantes trabajadoras domésticas.Sistema Editorial y de Difusión de la Investigación (SIEDIN), Universidad de Costa Rica2022-09-25info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionTextoartículo originalhttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_18cfhttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdftext/htmltext/xmlapplication/zipaudio/mpeghttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/reflexiones/article/view/5087210.15517/rr.v103i1.50872Reflexiones Journal; Vol. 103 No. 1 (2024): January-June-Open number; 1-22Revista Reflexiones; Vol. 103 Núm. 1 (2024): Enero-Junio; 1-22Reflexiones; Vol. 103 N.º 1 (2024): Enero-Junio; 1-221659-28591021-120910.15517/rr.v103i1reponame:Portal de Revistas UCRinstname:Universidad de Costa Ricainstacron:UCRspahttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/reflexiones/article/view/50872/52867https://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/reflexiones/article/view/50872/52868https://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/reflexiones/article/view/50872/52869https://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/reflexiones/article/view/50872/52870https://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/reflexiones/article/view/50872/52871ArgentinaDerechos de autor 2022 Ana Inés Mallimaci Barral, María José Maglianohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0acceso abiertohttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2025-02-03T14:59:37Zoai:portal.ucr.ac.cr:article/50872Portal de revistashttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/Universidadhttp://www.ucr.ac.crhttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/index/oaijorge.polanco@ucr.ac.crCosta RicaNo aplicaNo aplicaNo aplicaopendoar:2025-08-13T10:12:58.106Portal de Revistas UCR - Universidad de Costa Ricafalse
