Background:
The mortality and morbidity behavior in employed female population is significant due to the role of women regarding work and family matters in an aging context.
Objective:
To analyze the mortality and morbidity behavior in employed female population at the Villa Clara General Work Contractor Enterprise.
Methodology:
The documentary analysis of official data on female mortality led to a case study at the Villa Clara General Work Contractor Enterprise, through group work and the application of the Dembo-Rubistein self-assessment scale.
Results:
The greater morbidity and disability of women is justified by socialization patterns, family roles, responsibilities, job expectations and types of occupation that generate some physical and emotional overload conditions with a marked influence on their health.
Conclusions:
At present, it is essential to give attention to women outside their reproductive health, also consider the cost that family and society represents for her, assuming different roles such as management positions, being a worker, heads of household, caregivers, which can produce a general psychological, physical and health overload.
