| Résumé : |
The housewives are usually included in statistics as « inactives ». It could be strange to propose an article about them in a human ressources management topic. Our purpose in this article is to explain the relationship with the labour market of the so called housewifes and to put into the light the competences that they acquire outside the official labour market. We have conducted a research with hundred women that have stopped work more than two years for family reasons. This research was cary on in the french part of Belgium. We have noticed that the links between these women and the market labour were far more complex that usually assumed. The housewives have in fact a lot of activities during the period of withdrawal and these activities go beyond the scope of the house and the family. These activities give them psychological and symbolic rewards but are also sometimes a source of incomes. These women have a « dotted link » with the labour market and are not always aware of it. These activities, some « unthought of the human ressources management », give them the opportunities to develop competences that are transferable on the labour market place but that are not enough taken into account by the employers and de HR managers. |
