ABSTRACT: The Normative model of women’s brain drain to their
homes is a proposal to study the lives of women with higher level
studies and who returned, voluntarily or involuntarily, to take care of
household duties. Its design is based on the theories of expulsion-attraction,
family-work trajectories, life course, kaleidoscope career model and career
limits; they analyze each stage lived from different perspectives. The
Normative model of women’s brain drain to their homes identify what are the
situations that allow women to make the decision to leave their jobs and dedicate
themselves to domestic, full-time household chores. In addition to the fact
that the labor market is constantly evolving due to technological progress and
globalization. With the use of this model, relevant elements were identified as a relevant part of their decision in
the different areas of a woman’s life (i.e. family, professional, work), as
well as their interrelations where governmental, organizational and social
actions intermingle to chart the course of women’s lives.
