We analyze expert debates through which both issues became objects of study and specialization within a knowledge network forged between regional bodies of the United Nations system and academic institutions from the mid-1960s to the late 1970s in Latin America. Through a exhaustive archival study of expert debates that took place during that period, we demonstrate that, far from being obvious, the convergence of these two issues resulted from changes within knowledge fields, tending towards the unification of analytical coordinates on underdevelopment issues under a structural reflection framework. We explore the effects of this convergence on the problematization of labor and on what is perceived as non-work. We argue that its particularities are discernible under a regional scale of analysis. Desde una historia del presente, en este artículo nos proponemos reconstruir la emergencia del enlazamiento analítico, hoy considerado evidente, entre dos tópicos intensamente debatidos en la actualidad: el trabajo informal y el trabajo de las mujeres. Para ello, nos remontamos a una coyuntura previa, entre mediados de los años sesenta hasta fines de los setenta, en América Latina, momento en que ambas cuestiones se constituyeron en objeto de estudio y especialización para una red de expertise forjada entre organismos regionales del sistema de Naciones Unidas e instancias académicas. A través de un exhaustivo trabajo de archivo sobre la producción de dicha red mostramos que, lejos de ser evidente, el encuentro entre ambas cuestiones fue el resultado de alteraciones en el interior de los campos de saber, que tendieron a la unificación de las coordenadas analíticas sobre los problemas del subdsarrollo bajo un horizonte de reflexión de corte estructural. Asimismo, tratamos los efectos de este encuentro en los modos de problematización del registro del trabajo, cuya particularidad, según argumentamos, es captable bajo una escala regional de análisis.
