Abstract
The investigation explores the social-work situation that Haitian immigrant women are living in Chile and specifically describes how their experience of labor insertion develops in the Chilean labor market. Paid work, considered the only space of “social integration” for the migrant population, becomes a predictor for both the individual and social well-being of the person, and regarding to women we have to add the interaction of different inequality factors which are not the same as their peers’ men. The approach is qualitative in nature and uses case studies as its basic methodology. Among its conclusions, it is proposed to incorporate specific actions in public policies that allow reducing the barriers and risks in the work field, which migrant women and their families are daily exposed nowadays in Chile.
