Abstract
El aprendizaje gremial suponía una de las mejores opciones dentro del mercado laboral del Antiguo Régimen. No obstante, esta opción también podía ser considerablemente inestable para muchos de los jóvenes que no podían ascender en la carrera artesanal. El presente estudio analiza el futuro de los aprendices del gremio de sederos de la ciudad de Valencia en el último tercio del siglo XVI. A través de los contratos de aprendizajes, no sólo se trazará el aprendiz modelo, sino que se abordará el perfil socio-profesional de aquellos jóvenes que cancelaban sus contratos, así como de aquellos que conseguirían convertirse en maestros. Gracias al análisis de estos datos se mostrará como los hijos de maestros no era el grupo mayoritario dentro del conjunto de aprendices, pero también como el grado de maestro tampoco quedaba reservado para ellos. De esta manera no sólo se matiza el supuesto carácter endogámico que presentaron las corporaciones de oficio en el Antiguo Régimen, sino que además se pondrá de manifiesto la importancia de la coyuntura económica en la que los gremios, y por ende sus miembros, se encuentran inmersos.
Apprenticeship within guilds was one of the best options in the labour market of the Ancien Régime. However, this option could also be considerably unstable for many of the young people who could not move up in the artisan career. This study analyses the future of apprentices in the silk weavers’ guild in the city of Valencia in the last third of the 16th century. Through the apprenticeship contracts, not only the model apprentice will be traced, but also the socio-professional profile of those young people who cancelled their contracts, as well as those who managed to become masters. The analysis of these data will show that the sons of masters were not the majority group, but also that they were not the only ones to obtain the mastership. In this way, not only the supposed endogamic character of the guilds in the Ancien Régime will be clarified, but also the importance of the economic situation in which the guilds, and therefore their members, were immersed will be made clear.
