Resumo
Para muitas mulheres, a imigração é uma experiência altamente positiva do ponto de vista do empowerment e da emancipação individual. No entanto, para outras, a experiência implica uma especial vulnerabilidade e exposição a situações de pobreza, discriminação e exploração. Os problemas inerentes à gestão da vida familiar e profissional afetam quase todas as mulheres, mas não de igual forma, sendo mais gravosos para as que vivem em contexto de imigração e têm muitos filhos a cargo. Pretende-se com este trabalho – em que o objeto de estudo são as mulheres cabo-verdianas residentes no Bairro São Marçal, na Portela de Carnaxide, concelho de Oeiras - identificar as estratégias utilizadas por estas mulheres para conciliar a vida familiar e profissional e, perceber as suas características, aprofundar os conhecimentos sobre os seus percursos de vida, trabalho, hábitos culturais e nível de qualificação do agregado. O trabalho de natureza qualitativa teve como amostra 26 entrevistadas, sendo todas mulheres cabo-verdianas. Como resultado, observa-se que em muitas famílias, tende a haver uma demissão das responsabilidades parentais por parte dos homens, sobretudo depois da separação ou do divórcio. Acresce, ainda, a pouca partilha e a alternância de papéis. Para além destas consequências, que se percecionam como problemáticas preocupantes, verifica-se no bairro um número crescente de jovens com absentismo escolar e/ou abandono escolar, que apresentam inclusivamente comportamentos desviantes ou delinquentes.
For many women, immigration is a highly positive experience from the point of view of empowerment and individual emancipation. However, for others, the experience entails particular vulnerability and exposure to situations of poverty, discrimination and exploitation. The problems inherent in managing family and professional life affect almost all women, but not all equally, and are more severe for those who live in an immigrant context and have many dependent children. The aim of this study -in which the object of study is Cape Verdean women living in Bairro São Marçal, in Portela de Carnaxide, in the municipality of Oeiras -is to identify the strategies used by these women to reconcile family and professional life and, by understanding their characteristics, to deepen our knowledge of their life paths, work, cultural habits and the level of qualification of the household: the qualitative study sampled 26 interviewees, all Cape Verdean women. As a result, it was observed that in many families, there tends to be a relinquishing of parental responsibilities by men, especially after separation or divorce. In addition, there is little sharing and alternation of roles. In addition to these consequences, which are perceived as worrying problems, a growing number of young people in the neighborhoodwho are absent from school and/or drop out, and who even display deviant or delinquent behavior.
