This thesis aims to analyze the aspects of working at home and family relations in the production of clothes made of jeans in the city of Toritama PE, as well as to learn about the duties and responsibilities that men and women have played in the domestic production process, emphasizing the social relations that are outlined in this space. The scenario of recent socioeconomic changes associated with globalization and the spread of forms of flexible production has caused changes in the world of work, the emergence of new forms of production organization, as well as the reediting of others which were considered archaic, but are adapted to the current dynamics of capital which is the case of working at home even when they rise far from this process, as the case of the Region of Jeans Clothes Manufacturers in the city of Toritama PE, locus of this research. This is a qualitative study and documentary research, semi-structured interviews as well as participant observation were used as methodological resources, focusing on a critical analysis of the objective and subjective elements that permeate the reality of families linked to the process of working at home. It was found that, despite the apparent exuberance and modernization that comes through the region with the expansion of the jeans industry, the assumption that this dynamic organization of home work could be providing more egalitarian ways of access to activities, the exchange of knowledge, control of the production process as well as the relations between men and women within the family was not thoroughly confirmed. However, there was confirmation in relation to the assumption that the economic dynamics experienced by these production units at home changed family relationships, causing a greater emotional distance among its members as a result of assignments in production, both in relation to smaller children and older children who were more directly involved in the production process.
