Abstract
This article analyses the mobility, employment, and caregiving work processes in the life trajectories of Mayan women in Quintana Roo by identifying vulnerability factors that arise in rural and tourist contexts. Using an intersectional approach, a qualitative, ethnographic study was conducted based on participant observation and semi-structured interviews with women who had migrated to the Quintana Roo tourist corridor. The narratives of two participants were included in this study. The analysis was carried out through the interpretation of the life stories systematized around precarious work, caregiving work, migration and mobility, and structural vulnerability. The findings show that these women sustain social and economic reproduction through precarious jobs and caregiving work in contexts of spatial segregation, gender inequalities, and ethnicity.
