I am an economist from the University of Chile and holds a Master\u2019s degree in Social Policy, Work, and Welfare from the Universitat Aut\u00f2noma de Barcelona. My research is grounded in feminist economics, with a strong focus on the care economy, time use, and social protection systems. I was part of the first studies in Chile to propose indicators of time poverty and inequality, contributing to a broader understanding of unpaid work and its socioeconomic implications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My work has also explored labor conditions and precarious employment, engaging closely with social organizations linked to labor movements, such as Fundaci\u00f3n SOL and Cooperativa Desbordada in Chile. I have extensively studied social security systems, particularly pension systems, examining their distributive impacts and long-term sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently,I am a PhD researcher within the TOUCH programme, developing the project \u201cPrecarious Employment Trajectories, Psychosocial Risks, and Mental Well-being\u201d under the supervision of Dr. Mireia Bol\u00edbar Planas and Dr. Albert Navarro Gine.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
