The present research aims to analyze the perceptions of women, aged 25 to 39, from the districts of Trujillo and Otuzco in the department of La Libertad, regarding their own Unpaid Domestic Work (UDW), and how these perceptions affect their access to productive work. In this regard, based on gender and care economy approaches, we have applied a qualitative methodology. For this, we conducted an exhaustive literature review on UDW and related topics, both at the national level in Peru and the regional level. Additionally, despite not having a representative sample, we conducted semi-structured interviews in the aforementioned districts of La Libertad, which allowed us to understand both the domestic and care tasks that our study population performed daily, as well as the traditional perceptions they had regarding their own UDW and the gender stereotypes that contributed to the unfair sexual division of labor in their households. Furthermore, the aforementioned semi-structured interviews allowed us to identify the direct correlation that exists between women's UDW overload and the reduction of their participation in the labor market (formal and/or informal) in the mentioned districts of La Libertad, affecting their access to precarious and/or informal productive jobs that do not guarantee any type of social benefits or future pension provisions. Finally, while there is an inverse relationship between the educational level these women achieve and the amount of time they dedicate to domestic and care work, we observed that, regardless of their educational level, all of our study population were willing to leave their productive jobs to devote themselves to child-rearing during their children's first six years of life.
