For the Quechua, like all cultures, getting the groceries that sustain life requires labor- a lot of labor. In Quechua society, how is that labor organized? Who does what? How is work divided in your household?
Cultures, getting the groceries that sustain life requires labor
In many households, children are also expected to contribute with chores depending on their age and capabilities. Children usually start helping out with simple tasks around the house at an early age so they can become accustomed to hard work before they reach adulthood (Lorenzo 5). For example, smaller children might help gather firewood while older ones could assist with farming tasks like herding animals or weeding fields. Teaching children responsibility through hands-on experience not only instills important values but it also helps lighten the workload of parents who often have multiple responsibilities within their community (Ulloa-Santos et al.).
Overall, getting groceries requires a lot of labor which is why efficient organization among different members of a Quechua household is essential for success. Through effective division of labor gender roles become reinforced yet flexible according to each individual’s capabilities and needs making sure everyone contributes what they can towards providing sustenance for themselves and those around them (Lorenzo 6).
