This work is part of the incentive project called "State, public policies and sex-gender inequalities. Configurations in contemporary Argentina (1983-2019) "which aims to account for the forms of state intervention involved in the reproduction / transformation of these inequalities and their relationship with broader social and cultural processes. One of the objectives of this project is the analysis of gender policies that have been progressively institutionalized since the return to democracy, and the tensions to which they have given rise. Here we will dwell particularly on work as a dimension of gender inequality identified as central to these political initiatives, and the recourse to education and educational policies, as instruments to transform this dimension of inequality. To this end, we will seek to identify how the sexual division of labor has been placed as a central vector of social intervention in different programs and initiatives deployed by the organizations for women, especially during the first administration of the National Council for Women. Then, we will try to show the educational responses to the problem of the sexual division of labor developed by the Council in the same period in a context of educational reforms.
