Abstract

The first part of this article is a review essay of women's work research from the household perspective on the Catalan industrialization process. In the second part I present some new data of my own research carried out in the city of Barcelona. The conclusions of this comparative essay points out to the impossibility of applying to Barcelona the same pattems of other urban and industrialised areas of Catalonia. A reasonable explanation for this lies on the fact that female work in Barcelona seems not to depend so much on supply factors and familial life cycle, as on labour market demand.
