Abstract: Though the need of reproduction of life - in all its dimensions - exists from the moment in which human life exists, the separation between a productive (public) sphere and a reproductive (private) one appeared when a change in the economic order took place. At that time the division between productive work (in exchange for a salary) and reproductive work (without remuneration) crystallizes and is expressed also in terms of sexual division. Women will be the in charge of the biological, social and working force reproduction. When time passed women achieved major access, both to education and labor market. If men and women are employed at the extra-domestic area equally, ¿how are the reproductive tasks indispensable for the daily life organized? ¿What does happen with the tasks of care that were traditionally performed by women? Related to these questions the paper develops a discussion about the notion of care and of its social organization, including some empirical results obtained by processing the Survey on Not Remunerated Work and Use of Time carried out in Argentina during the third quarter of 2013.
