Resumen

La economía informal es una ramificación casi permanente de la rápida urbanización; está omnipresente en la vida de cada uno, en los sucesos cotidianos. Además, este tipo de economía es capaz de retar a la economía formal y a la estructura política de la nación. La tendencia de que las mujeres inmigrantes asuman de forma involuntaria labores domésticas (cuidado de los niños, aseo del hogar, hacer mercado o cocinar) en el núcleo de la familia urbana es casi una práctica normal con cierto nivel de legitimidad. Entonces, esta investigación pretende relacionar las tendencias socio-económicas y los aspectos de legitimidad concernientes a las mujeres empleadas en el sector informal de Nueva Delhi. A partir de la recolección de datos se pretendió evaluar los factores motivantes detrás de la migración y el empleo en el sector informal. El estudio, si bien realizado en una muestra reducida, alude a la estructura de la economía informal en Nueva Delhi. Además, presenta una semblanza de la relación entre los factores socioeconó- micos y culturales en la vida de estas mujeres.
