The following is a theoretical article that discusses the impact of late modernity in the life of the workers in Chile, focusing specifically on the concept of individuation proposed by authors such as Giddens or Beck. The analysis is done from the category of “work place”, observing the processes of choice that the worker performs trying to generate a strategic course of his career. Interregional commutation for employment purposes and teleworking are used as demonstrative examples. From these cases, a reflection is proposed, regarding the progress and limitations of the processes of workers’ individuation in Chile. At the end, the basis for a concept of work individuation is proposed.
