AUCATOMA, Saskia García; PAREDES, Narciza  and  ROSERO, Ligia García. Conditions of quality of life in the work of women in the agricultural sector. Cantón Rumiñahui. RCTU [online]. 2017, vol.4, n.3, pp.92-102. ISSN 1390-7697.  https://doi.org/10.26423/rctu.v4i3.279.

Quality of work conditions for women in the agricultural sector were analyzed in the Rumiñahui Canton; for this purpose a socio-economic characterization was carried out, then the dimensions of the quality of life in the work were identified, obtaining an objective and subjective assessment of its dimensions. Quantitative and qualitative techniques were used and statistical tests (Cron bach's alpha, Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis test) were used for the validation of the results. A sample of 84 agricultural workers was taken. It was determined that 50% have primary education, 50% provide their homes economically, 71% do not have social security affiliation, and 20% do not know the dangers to which they are exposed in their work. The quality of life at work is perceived as low, and the determining factors are the lack of labor recruitment and regularization, lack of health and social security, exposure to risks at work and low remuneration.

Keywords : Quality of life at work; safety at work; women.
