The theme is justified mainly because it is an intrinsic step to the family cycle and not much exploited so far in Brazilian scientific research. So it has importance both in academia and to women demonstrated suffering at this stage. Using a qualitative approach, the study was used of questionnaire socio-demographic and semi-open interview, besides having been based on concepts of Analytical Psychology. It is considered that the majority of mothers interviewed showed negative reaction to the departure of the children, with feelings of sadness, loneliness, grief and abandonment. We conclude that the quality of the marital relationship and family that the mother established throughout her life may have influenced the type of reaction experienced at empty nest stage / Esta pesquisa procura observar e entender os sentimentos e comportamentos das mães frente à fase do ninho vazio . A temática se justifica, principalmente, por se tratar de uma etapa intrínseca ao ciclo familiar e por não ser muito explorada, até então, em pesquisas científicas brasileiras. Por isso, apresenta importância tanto no meio acadêmico, quanto para mulheres que demonstram sofrimento nesta fase. Com abordagem qualitativa, o trabalho se utilizou de questionário sócio demográfico e entrevista semiaberta, além de ter se baseado em conceitos da Psicologia Analítica. Considera-se que a maioria das mães entrevistadas apresentou reação negativa com a saída dos filhos, com sentimentos de tristeza, solidão, angústia e abandono. Conclui-se que a qualidade do relacionamento conjugal e familiar que a mãe estabeleceu ao longo da vida pode ter influenciado o tipo de reação vivida na fase do ninho vazio

<p>The principal purpose of this thesis has been to analyse the importance of women´s waged work with handicrafts for the household economy in the Swedish countryside during a period of rapid industrialisation and growth. The point of departure for the analysis has been a theoretical and methodological frame of interpretation on three levels. The levels that have been studied are the national institutional level of society, the level of the local society and the household level.</p><p>This thesis has shown that women’s ways of providing for themselves cannot be explained with reference to any one factor. The explanation for the gender division of labour must be seen as the result of the interplay of several different factors on different levels. By investigating how the conditions for making a living looked like on the three different levels, the thesis has shown that, together, factors on the national institutional and the local societal levels, as well as on the individual household level, affected women’s work and how it can be understood.</p><p>The thesis has described how the ideal of the breadwinner has changed during the transition from an agrarian to an industrial society. By studying a traditional form of female wage work – handicrafts – during a period when women were not expected to be gainfully employed, the thesis has shown that this transition was a slow process that manifested itself differently on different levels and that the old agrarian gender order survived for a long time despite the fact that people’s means of making a living had changed in a fundamental way. Women’s handicraft work was a continuing feature during this transitional period.</p>

The principal purpose of this thesis has been to analyse the importance of women´s waged work with handicrafts for the household economy in the Swedish countryside during a period of rapid industrialisation and growth. The point of departure for the analysis has been a theoretical and methodological frame of interpretation on three levels. The levels that have been studied are the national institutional level of society, the level of the local society and the household level. This thesis has shown that women’s ways of providing for themselves cannot be explained with reference to any one factor. The explanation for the gender division of labour must be seen as the result of the interplay of several different factors on different levels. By investigating how the conditions for making a living looked like on the three different levels, the thesis has shown that, together, factors on the national institutional and the local societal levels, as well as on the individual household level, affected women’s work and how it can be understood. The thesis has described how the ideal of the breadwinner has changed during the transition from an agrarian to an industrial society.
