Building of the sense of autonomous work in young professionals from the state of Querétaro

Abstract

In recent years there have been social, economic and political changes and transformations that have strongly influenced the labor field. As a consequence, new forms of work have emerged in response to the new dynamics that arise. The changes in the socioeconomic structure implemented from the flexibility, precarization and professional diversification have given way to atypical forms of work. Since then, labour relations and structures have evolved and various dynamics have been deployed, one of which is self-employment. This research aims to make visible the sense of working that is given to this growing form of atypical work. It focuses specifically on young professional adults. In this sense, it seeks to explore different ways in which work can be signified and experienced in its everyday life.
