HILLER, Renata  and  PARIS, Paolo. Women workers in the San Jorge Gulf Basin (CGSJ): invisibility, hydrocarbon economy and gender relations. Trab. soc. [online]. 2020, vol.21, n.34, pp.81-90. ISSN 1514-6871.

Both from the representations of common sense and in academia, the hydrocarbon economy that develops in the San Jorge Gulf Basin is conceived as a masculine universe. That is why we are interested in questioning the places that women have occupied in the economic relations of this region throughout its history, and present times. To do this, we critically review the available historiography, from a gender perspective. We also analyze a series of secondary data that can serve to draw a more complete picture of the world of work and gender relations in this region, mainly from the privatization of YPF to present days. It guides the investigation to identify the differential impacts, according to gender, of the moments of crisis and economic recovery. Likewise, the article asks about the construction of the data and the sources of information available for the understanding of this economy of global scale and particular territorial conformation.
