Mulheres no mercado de trabalho : as condições de trabalho das mulheres no Brasil na pandemia de COVID-19

Abstract

This study analyzes the reality of women in the Brazilian labor market during the Covid-19 pandemic. To this end, it presents an analysis of the Brazilian labor market articulating the dimensions of class, race, and gender; identifies the aspects that mark women's participation in the labor market in the face of multiple work shifts; and investigates the effects of the pandemic on women's working conditions in Brazil. Methodologically, the research employs a qualitative and quantitative approach, of a bibliographic and documentary nature, based on official data and academic productions on the subject. The need for this research stems from the deepening of existing structural inequalities in the labor market, intensified by the pandemic context, especially in a scenario marked by the precariousness of labor relations and the erosion of workers' rights. The results indicate that the pandemic deepened existing gender and racial inequalities in the Brazilian labor market.
