GOMEZ, Tania Aillón. The social fabric in the production of labor market space in the industry of Cochabamba-Bolivia. Laboreal [online]. 2021, vol.17, n.2, e18509.  Epub Dec 01, 2021. ISSN 1646-5237.  https://doi.org/10.4000/laboreal.18509.

In this paper, the territory is understood as a dimension of the life and the work. It based on information about the labor markets in the industry of Cochabamba-Bolivia, this paper has the purpose to explain the labor markets, as socially produced spaces, the premise and result of human praxis. In this sense, the workers’ labor trajectory is taken as a common thread, in which the individual or family alternatives are woven together with the dissolution of the parcel forms of production in the agricultural sector and the dynamics capital accumulation in the urban space. Although the mobility of workers and the spatial production of labor markets are symptoms of general social processes, it breaks with a deterministic vision, because the social practice that produces them is also the result of the subjective dimension of workers.

Keywords : labor trajectories; labor markets; social space; industrial reserve army; migration.
