This work aims to analyze the entry into the labor market for women born between the years 1940 and 1979 living in the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires city. For this, building on the Life Course perspective, which emphasizes the analytical importance of crossing historical time and biographical time, we will present some characteristics of the socio-historical context and the productive structure. Then, with quantitative data, we will analyze women’s participation and age at the first job along with their differentials according to social groups and generations. Also, based on Life Stories we will present some labor transition experiences of women from different social groups born in the 1940s and in the 1970s. Finally, we discuss the difficulties of female labor insertion, referred to not only unfavorable contexts with high levels of unemployment and poverty, but also to inequalities in the distribution of household chores, and labor segregation, due to their gender condition.
