Item type:Publication, Woman traders and cross-border circuits: Articulations between care and mobility on the borders of Peru, Bolivia and Chile(Universidad Autonoma de Baja California, 2024-01-01)Cross-border trade is predominantly conducted by women, and involves the movement and articulation of extensive networks for the circulation (formal or not) of products. Engaging with the perspectives of mobility and gender in border studies, this article examines the configuration of cross-border circuits of women traders. The article demonstrates how commercial activities and caregiving are intertwined in these circuits and discusses this overlap through four socio-spatial arrangements: home, places of sale, border crossing and supply locations. The research is based in two Peruvian cities with border conditions—Tacna (bordering Chile) and Puno (bordering Bolivia)—and involved 62 semi-structured interviews with women engaged in various commercial activities in 2022-2023, primarily second-hand clothing and groceries. These activities are part of a global chain of merchandise circulation that closely links the three countries (Bolivia, Chile, and Peru). - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Care and Transnational Families: Perspectives from Older Adults, Mothers, and Fathers of Peruvian Emigrants(Universidad del Pacifico Press, 2023-09-30)This article explores the organization of transnational care provided to older people whose one of their children lives abroad. Based on interviews conducted mainly with older mothers, it analyses the articulation between care received locally and at long distance, the practices they provide to care for family members, and their self-care activities to support themselves in an «independent» old age. The findings confirm the central role of families and, particularly of women, in ensuring a welfare regime for the older adult population and mitigate the effects of social unprotection. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Reconfigurations of the transition to adulthood amongst first-generation students in contexts of crisis: the Peruvian experience(Taylor & Francis, 2025-01-01)This article examines how first-generation students (FGS) in Peru experience the transition to adulthood within the university context. Through a biographical approach based on 60 interviews with scholarship recipients across three regions of the country (Coast, Highlands and Amazon), the study analyses the particular configuration of life stages that emerges when the university experience unfolds in contexts of precarity. The findings reveal that, far from representing a period of social moratorium, university constitutes for FGS an 'intermediate age' characterised by constant tension between aspirations for autonomy and family responsibilities. The COVID-19 pandemic has made these tensions more visible and acute, evidencing both specific vulnerabilities and notable adaptive capacities. The analysis also shows how gender structures these experiences: while women face greater demands for family care, men experience more pressure to contribute economically. These findings invite us to rethink traditional conceptions of youth and adulthood, revealing how life transitions are reconfigured in contexts where the pursuit of social mobility through higher education coexists with persistent inequalities.2 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Navigating Crisis: Violence, Mobility, and Gendered Experiences of Unaccompanied Venezuelan Adolescents(Taylor & Francis, 2025-01-01)This study examines the experiences of 14 unaccompanied Venezuelan adolescents (aged 15-19) migrating to Peru, using life course theory and biographical analysis. The research reveals three distinct groups: emancipated boys migrating for work, girls joining partners, and girls victimized by trafficking. Findings highlight gendered dimensions characterized by childhood violence, early emancipation, and mismatched institutional care. The study demonstrates how personal autonomy, peer networks, and family dynamics shape migration trajectories, challenging conventional life stage progressions. It contributes to migration theory by revealing the complex interplay between individual agency, family circumstances, and socio-economic factors in adolescent migration.2 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, CROSS-BORDER MOBILITY AND FAMILY CARE THROUGH LIFE CYCLES: EXPERIENCES OF WOMEN TRADERS IN THE PERU-BOLIVIA-CHILE SPACE(Arturo Prat University, 2025-01-01)This article aims to analyze the changes and continuities in women's trading practices and care responsibilities in the trinational space between Peru, Bolivia, and Chile, examining how they articulate and negotiate their commercial and family roles at different stages of their lives. The central hypothesis posits the existence of regular patterns in the adaptation of trading and care practices according to the life cycle, arguing that participation in trade begins at an early age and intensifies when family responsibilities decrease. The study uses a biographical approach based on retrospective interviews conducted with 62 women traders from different generations in Puno and Tacna. The analysis employs the Ageven form to structure individual trajectories and an adaptation of the Lexis diagram to visualize generational patterns. The findings reveal how women develop adaptive strategies that vary according to their life cycles, highlighting the importance of intergenerational transmission of trading knowledge and the persistent tension between economic autonomy and reproduction of traditional gender roles.1
