Estrutura do mercado de trabalho brasileiro por gênero: Análise comparativa do período de 2014 a 2016

Abstract

The present study studied the participation of women in the labor market in Brazil and analyzed the differences in relation to gender discrimination in Brazilian regions in the period from 2014 to 2016, so that the study variables were used as educational level, mean income, age, employment rate and unemployment. In addition, it was observed that the guiding hypotheses of this study were that the participation of women in the labor market occurs in a similar way in the North, Northeast and Central-West regions as well as in the South and Southeast regions. North, Northeast and Center-West regions present higher levels of discrimination compared to other regions of Brazil. For the development of this study, a bibliographical research and descriptive analysis of tables and graphs data were used as methodological procedure, which were elaborated using as secondary sources information available in the National Household Sample Surveys (PNAD), Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), Employment and Unemployment Survey (PED) and data obtained from the DIEESE website. It was generally found that women in Brazilian regions have lower wages than men in terms of average incomes, are predominantly employed in the services sector, and labor market participation for the proportion of individuals with higher education is higher among men in relation to women. In the inter-regional analysis of the data, it can be observed that women in the North, Northeast and Midwest have lower incomes and lower levels of occupation in the labor market than women in the South and Southeast of Brazil
