The employment of local people in mining projects is constantly documented as a factor of progress and an indicator of development, which generates higher incomes and —hence— greater well-being. Under these assumptions, we need to ask ourselves what do we mean by development, welfare and progress? Is the employment rate an effective indicator of these variables? What impact does a gender differentiation in recruitment creates? It is in this sense that the question that motivates the present investigation arises: In what way does the presence of a mining company alter the division of tasks for the families of the neighboring areas? This research seeks to study, from the approaches provided by the Sociology of Development, the change in the use of women’s time in areas with the presence of extractive industries, illustrating it with the case of the Las Bambas mining project in Apurímac, Peru.
