Abstract: The aim of this paper is to analyze the behavior in the labor market of the family from Lima Metropolitana, in a context of crisis and labor reform. Using the theory of family labor supply, participation in the labor force of women and men is analyzed in base of individual and family variables. The hypothesis is that the asymmetry usually observed in the labor behavior of women and men is caused by the roles they both assume in the family, and not by differences in human capital. So, by the estimation of LOGIT equations, we actually find that the role assumed by a person in the family, whether a woman or a man, is what explains her behavior in the labor market.
