    Walking on broken glass: gender as predictor of job precariousness among young people in Spain
    (2021) Bote Díaz, Marcos Alonso; Solano Lucas, Juan Carlos; Clemente Soler, Juan Antonio; Martínez López, José Ángel; Frutos Balibrea, Lola; Sociología
    Evidencia previas revelan que los factores socioeconómicos, como la duración del contrato, laocupación, el sector de actividad, la edad, la formación, la nacionalidad, el estado civil o el género, conducen a laprecariedad. Esta investigación indaga en la interseccionalidad de las desigualdades para explicar el impacto dela precariedad entre los jóvenes en función del género. Se han analizado los datos de la Encuesta de PoblaciónActiva (EPA) de España entre 2005 y 2016 mediante regresión logística y segmentación jerárquica. Los resultadossugieren que la crisis económica ha ampliado la brecha de género en los empleos precarios, de manera queactualmente las mujeres jóvenes son más propensas a enfrentarse a situaciones de precariedad en comparacióncon los hombres jóvenes.

    Personas Transexuales que ejercen la prostitución en la Región de Murcia (PTEP) Un estudio sobre exclusión, necesidades y oportunidades de inclusión
    (2025) Gómez Prada, Hernando Carlos; Bote Díaz, Marcos Alonso; Sociología; Facultades de la UMU::Facultad de Economía y Empresa
    This article is based on qualitative research carried out by the Sociology Department of the University of Murcia and the Oblatas Programme, focusing on the needs of transgender people in prostitution (TPEP) in the Region of Murcia. Through in-depth interviews with 18 TPEPs and 10 professionals from the fields of social work, health, security and administration, their life trajectories, living conditions, experiences of exclusion and expectations for the future are explored. The results reveal situations marked by multiple discrimination - transphobia, racism, stigmatisation of sex work - that severely limit access to fundamental rights such as employment, health and housing. The analysis, from an intersectional perspective, allows us to understand how these forms of exclusion are structurally articulated. Based on the findings, measures aimed at the effective inclusion and institutional recognition of trans identities in contexts of prostitution are proposed. The article proposes the need for more innovative social policies and practices, capable of responding to diversity with transformative strategies that recognise difference not as a problem, but as an opportunity to build a more equitable and inclusive society.

    Trade-offs for healthy and sustainable diets in Europe: Social-ecological dynamics in an intensive agricultural system
    (2025-02-11) Jiménez-Aceituno A.; Marín Rives, Longinos; Lopez-Rodríguez M.D.; Castro A.J; Cortés-Calderón S.; Collste D.; Aparicio G.; Rolfër L.; Gómez-Tenorio M.A; González-Martín B.; Bote Díaz, Marcos Alonso; Sociología
    Food production and trade are key drivers of environmental change worldwide. Global initiatives emphasize the need to shift towards healthier and more sustainable diets, with increased consumption of fruits and vegetables (F&V). However, F&V cultivation relies on diverse high-value crop species that often require intensive fertilization and irrigation for optimum yield and quality, as well as a large labor force. This generates trade-offs across scales between the impacts in the production regions and the global need to increase F&V production. Through multi-actor dialogues, we analysed the social-ecological dynamics of the F&V agriculture system in Southeast Spain, which crucially supplies F&V to Northern Europe. Using a new approach combining the 3Horizons method and system thinking tools, our results reveal the agricultural system’s context-specific structures as a foundation for exploring transformative opportunities. We found that the agricultural system a) is sustained in a governance model that lacks cooperation and fosters polarized views, 2) surpasses the biophysical limits, and 3) relies on immigrant low-wage labor. Additionally, our results underscore the need to share the responsibilities and costs of the food-system transformation across the supply chain actors, focusing on the potential of retailers, governance institutions at multiple scales, collective structures of farmer producers, and auxiliary industries to support sustainable and just transformative changes.

    Rethinking Old Age and Masculinity: Impact on the Re-Spatialization of Life and Research during the COVID-19 Period in Spain
    (2025) Bote Díaz, Marcos Alonso; Varela Manograsso, Agustina Belén; Sociología; Facultades de la UMU::Facultad de Economía y Empresa
    The COVID-19 pandemic and experiencing confinement resignified spaces of life and research. This experience did not affect men and women or the youth and older people in the same way. In recent years, the pandemic’s exacerbation of gender inequality and its harmful effect on the elderly have been extensively studied. However, few studies have focused on how it has impacted older men specifically, and even fewer have looked into the variations in the way they perceive their masculinity and inhabit (gendered) spaces. This paper aims to analyses that impact and those variations, as well as the research limitations that came to light in the investigation process of this study, which was also affected by restrictions imposed during the pandemic. We managed to conduct interviews and focus groups with men over 60 years old from different social backgrounds and sexual orientation to study their thoughts and beliefs about masculinity and ageing by taking into account how the re-spatialization of the participant’s lives and of the research during the pandemic transformed both the (self-)perception of masculinity and of ageing, as well as the process and results of our investigation.
