Resumen

Este estudio se propuso explorar los sistemas de administración del dinero empleados por parejas de primera unión y reconstituidas. Son 26 parejas heterosexuales (12 parejas de primera unión y 14 reconstituidas) las que respondieron a una entrevista en profundidad sobre la manera cómo aportan económicamente al presupuesto familiar, la administración de esos aportes, y su percepción sobre qué tan justas son las decisiones sobre el dinero en su relación. El análisis de las temáticas que emergieron permitió identificar cinco sistemas de administración: salario completo, mesada, fondo común, manejo independiente y manejo independiente con fondo común. Contrario a lo señalado en otros estudios, las parejas de primera unión empleaban sistemas de manejo independiente o manejo independiente con fondo común. Sin embargo, en parejas reconstituidas se encontró principalmente el sistema de fondo común. Los resultados se discuten en relación con la literatura acerca de la administración del dinero en diferentes tipos de uniones maritales.
