Hello a Tutti:

My name is Pilar Barrientos of Argentina and I want to know your opinion 
about a phenomenon that occurr in our country en the last two years.
In the Labor Market, the workers had percibed themselves like 
"underemployed" when they works left than 4 hours in the week, until 
1996 in the Labor Survey. In this year, this perception has changed. If 
a worker take an ocassionally job, he thinks and says "I`m employed".So, 
the workers have a change in the way that they name their jobs. I was 
thinking, how we can do a relation with the "habitus" concept. How the 
economic sistem has generated a change in the "head" very soon. The 
power of the habitus and the vertiginous changes make that the stuctures 
structuring and structurated changes our words and our minds. Is the 
hour for take an overview about  "habitus"?
I hope that you had understand me cause my English is terrible.
Wait an answer
Please write me to pibar-AT-indec.mecon.ar
Thanks
