Abstract
Perú fue uno de los países de la región que mantuvo las clases a distancia
como estrategia frente a la emergencia sanitaria por covid-19 tanto para 2020 como
para 2021. No obstante, esta medida no consideró las desigualdades entre los
hogares de escolares en cuanto a la distribución de labores de cuidado no
remunerados, en desventaja de las mujeres. Tampoco evaluó las brechas digitales
de género más allá de los indicadores de acceso y uso, en ventaja de los varones.
Tal análisis es valioso para advertir a los tomadores de decisiones sobre los desafíos
que supone la implementación equitativa de políticas de educación a distancia.
Puesto que implican la convergencia de las actividades escolares en el espacio
doméstico, donde la familia y el cuidado no remunerado tienden a estructurar las
rutinas diarias de las/os adolescentes, niños y niñas. En este contexto, la presente
investigación se pregunta de qué manera las diferencias entre hombres y mujeres en
las labores de cuidado y en los usos de las tecnologías en las familias incidieron en
las brechas de género presentes en las rutinas escolares a distancia. Para el caso
seleccionado, becarias/os de Innova Schools, se halló que la distribución de los
trabajos de cuidado reprodujo desigualdades de género con desventajas para las
adolescentes. Del mismo modo, se encontraron diferencias en los significados que
se le atribuía al tiempo y espacio en que se usaban las tecnologías, siendo mayor el
valor atribuido al empleo de los varones.
Peru was one of the countries in the region that maintained distance learning as a strategy to address the covid-19 health emergency for both 2020 and 2021. However, this measure did not consider inequalities among school households in terms of the distribution of unpaid care work, to the disadvantage of women. Nor did it assess gender digital divides beyond indicators of access and use, to the advantage of males. Such an analysis is valuable to warn decision-makers about the difficulties involved in the equitable implementation of distance education policies. Since they imply the convergence of school activities in the domestic space, where family and unpaid care tend to structure the daily routines of adolescents, boys and girls. In this context, the present research asks how the differences between men and women in caregiving tasks and in the uses of technologies in the families affect the gender gaps present in the school routines at a distance. For the selected case, Innova Schools scholarship holders, it was found that the distribution of care work reproduced gender inequalities with significant disadvantages for adolescent girls. Similarly, differences were found in the meanings attributed to the time and space in which the technologies were used, with greater value being assigned to the use of males.
