O trabalho doméstico no Brasil: uma análise da relação entre a regulamentação e a informalidade a partir dos dados da PNAD contínua trimestral

Abstract

This research presents a survey of the evolution of the level of informality in domestic work in Brazil and the history of labor regulations in the sector, with the objective of identifying the effects of regulation on the levels of informality in domestic work, in particular the effects of LC No. 150/2015 and Law 13.467/2017. This is descriptive quantitative research, in which an analysis of data on income, formality and informality of domestic work in Brazil was carried out through the use of information present in the PNAD Continua Trimestral/IBGE database. The period analyzed was from 2012 to 2022. In addition, data were also collected from the Superior Labor Court, the International Labor Organization and a series of studies developed on women's work in Brazil, carried out by the Directorate of Studies and Social Policies (DISOC) of the Institute of Applied Economic Research (IPEA). After these analyses, signs of a relationship between the level of informality in the sector and the entry of regulatory norms into the legal system were perceived, with a tendency to increase costs and general risks of hiring linked to both demand and supply, above all due to the modality of intermittent work contract and the increase of the efforts of compliance with the legal instruments.
