 LA NOTION DE « FEMMES AU FOYER » EN ALGERIE, UNE REALITE OU UNE REPRESENTATION NOSTALGIQUETHE NOTION OF “ HOMEMAKER” IN ALGERIA, A REALITY OR A NOSTALGIC REPRESENTATIONMoundir Lassassi () and Khaled Menna MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany Abstract: The most research in labor economics field have focused on the determinants of the participation and the occupational choice of women in the labor market ignoring the behavior of a sub-population which remained outside of the traditional labor market, these are housewives despite their statistical weight. Indeed, three out of five women of working age are housewives. This disinterest is probably due to lack of data concerning these sub-population. In this article, we focus on the study of this population "housewives" from an original investigation, which included a special section on the activities of housewives. Several mutation indices were observed on the behavior of these housewives inside and outside the household. For example, it appears they assist more their children in homework. However, they occupy less nephews and grandchildren. They read, write and use the internet. Housewives participate in all the spots outside the household. In the case of certain activities, the proportions are relatively large. Other observed result, they invest more public space.
