Abstract

The aim of this article is to identify the more representative labour trajectories of foreign women workers who are living in Spain, during the economic crisis, between 2007-2013 years. More specifically the article analyses how gender is shaping contract and professional labour trajectories of workers, using the Continuous Work History Sample for the period 2007- 2013. The main results have to do, firstly, with a differentiating trajectory for foreign women characterised by contractual and occupational immobility. Secondly, the better position of women during the crisis comparing to men, due to, fundamentally the importance of this group in the social care sector. However, this more advantageous situation is still part of the bad employment norm.
