Description
Summary:In the current context of the « global knowledge society », the article looks at the weight of different forms of knowledge (formal and informal) for the social and gendered division of work. This article analyses the relations between the sources of different forms of knowledge and their gendered value, through three different types of informal activities (domestic labour, sewing, recycling) and in relation to the social and professional careers of the workers. Paradoxically, although these activities tend on the whole to reinforce inequalities, they also open a space for the re-negotiation of the social and gendered division of work.
