Abstract

SANCHEZ MAYORAL, Jessica Miriam et al. Women Night-Shift Workers’ Feelings about Managing Work and Social Lives. Sociológica (Méx.) [online]. 2024, vol.39, n.109, pp.195-229.  Epub Feb 14, 2025. ISSN 2007-8358.

This article analyzes the emotions women night-shift workers in the Huejotzingo, Puebla, industrial corridor experience when trying to manage their paid and reproductive work and their social lives. The authors used qualitative methodologies in semi-structured interviews. The results show that night work and gender inequalities decrease their sleep time and quality, spark concerns about care work at the same time that it allows them to perform it, and leave them little time for social-family life. These conditions cause emotional discomfort such as irritability, anger, guilt, loneliness, and sadness.

Keywords : managing work and social life; night work; gender; precarious labor; emotions.
