Résumé En

The Household Unit and Social Reproduction: the Huasipungo Community. A. Guerrero. This article analyses strategies adopted by newly formed families in rural communities in Equador's Andies to assure their social reproduction. The family cycle consists in two successive phases, the first called "apegada" and the second "huasipunga". This bipartite process allows each family group to participate in the network of ties of reciprocity based on land ownership; it also allows the community as a whole to resolve the crucial problem of balancing the amount of available labor power which arises from the workings of the family demographic cycle.
