Resumen
In the course of time, and by a combination of various factors, the women’s participation in paid activities increased, while family responsibilities increased too. In the years of economic crisis, such as the 2008-2010, the losses of male employment in various sectors were more than offset by a sharp increase of female labor, particularly in the independent activities. A small fraction of international remittances contributed to the increase of the independent women’s activities. However, when analyzing the trajectories of the micro-businesses in the course of time from the data in the enoe survey data 2005-2012 from the inegi, these independent women’s activities perish much more fragile and fleeting that the independent men’s activities. © 2015, Universidad Autonoma del Estado de Mexico.
