Sumario:This article reviews the contemporary situation of work in Mexico, through the framework of the transformations experienced in the workplace in the developed world in the last three decades; the critical labor conditions in Mexico are verified for a high proportion of the population, with special consideration for unemployment, underemployment and job informality; labor precariousness on which official quantitative estimates are made, by national and international standards. As a conclusion it is determined that precariousness in the current working conditions is the consequence of a nugatory and disjointed normative framework in consonance with institutional and political reasons that seem to be responsible, paradoxically, for preserving precariousness as a phenomenon that marks and regulates the ways to live, understanding and being able to explain the power relationship between capital and labor for a particular growing sector of the Mexican population.
