espanolEste estudio tiene por objetivo la investigacion de las mujeres en el sector informal y el alcance por el cual su contribucion a traves del trabajo por cuenta propia ayuda a reducir la pobreza familiar en la ciudad de Fez. El trabajo se basa en un enfoque de metodo mixto, en el que se usan metodos de investigacion cuantitativos y cualitativos. Tambien usa estadisticas descriptivas y un analisis etnografico de los datos obtenidos en los cuestionarios y las entrevistas, las cuales convergen en naturaleza. Los resultados demuestran un alto indice de participacion, estadisticamente importante, de mujeres de la ciudad de Fez que trabajan en los sectores de economia informal. Las actividades laborales no reguladas pueden ser consideradas como un medio importante para crear oportunidades de trabajo para muchas mujeres viviendo en condiciones economicas y sociales dificiles. Debido a la presion de un presupuesto de vida inadecuado, el estudio revela que la mayoria de las entrevistadas contribuyen a los gastos financieros de la familia, donde luchan para asegurar una fuente de sustento y para aumentar su productividad y de este modo sus ingresos. Intentan asi, reducir la pobreza y mantener la supervivencia y la unidad dentro de la familia. Es mas, el trabajo revela que la participacion de las mujeres en la vida civil y politica es casi inexistente debido a varias razones como los obstaculos sociales y culturales asi como la sociedad patriarcal que impide su participacion efectiva. Tambien aumenta su reticencia al trabajo social y politico. Demuestra igualmente que muchas de las mujeres entrevistadas en la encuesta de trabajo de campo de la investigacion estan afrontando muchos obstaculos y dificultades que afectan negativamente su rendimiento en las actividades economicas y limitan el desarrollo de su situacion social y economica. Pese a ello, y a traves de las opiniones y las ambiciones de las mujeres, la mayoria insisten en desafiar esas barreras y obstaculos con determinacion y un fuerte deseo de expresar sus aspiraciones y esperanza para un futuro mejor. EnglishThe study aims to investigate the participation of women in the informal sector and the extent to which their contribution through self-employment helped in the household poverty reduction in the city of Fez. It is based on a mixed-method approach, where quantitative and qualitative research methods are used. It also uses descriptive statistical and ethnographic analysis of the data obtained from questionnaires and interviews, which are convergent in nature. The results show a high participation rate, statistically significant, of women in the city of Fez who work in the sectors of the informal economy. The unregulated work activities can be considered as an important tool to create job opportunities for many women living in difficult social and economic conditions. Because of the pressure on the inadequate living budget, the study reveals that most respondents effectively contribute to the financial expenses of the family, where they struggle to secure a source of livelihood as well as an increase in the productivity, thus their income. Therefore, they attempt to reduce poverty and maintain the survival and the unity within the family. Moreover, it reveals that women's participation in political and civil life is almost non-existent due to many reasons such as the social, cultural obstacles as well as the patriarchal society that prevent their effective participation. It also increases their reluctance of political and social work. It also shows that many of the women surveyed in the field research are facing many obstacles and difficulties, which negatively affect both their performance of economic activities and limit the development of their economic and social situation. Despite this, and through women’s opinions and ambitions, most of them insist on challenging these barriers and obstacles with determination and a strong desire to express their aspirations and hope for a better future.
