Mulheres no mercado de trabalho no setor extrativista mineral no município de Canaã dos Carajás, estado do Pará

Abstract

This master's dissertation proposes a study on women in the labor market in the mineral extractive sector, in the municipality of Canaã dos Carajás, in the state of Pará (Brazil). The research aims to propose an investigation into adequate policies to encourage the inclusion, entry, permanence and professional growth of women in positions in this job niche. The issue is relevant, as it seeks to describe and address the issue of discrimination against women in the labor market, notably, in terms of dealing with complex issues involving the sexual and racial division of labor. The issue of (de)valuing the workforce from a gender perspective has been increasingly debated on the national scene. Although the Brazilian and international legal systems have laws and norms that deal with the fight against discrimination and violence against women, there is a growing need to combine this legal framework with the interdisciplinary relationship between Law, Economics, Politics and Development, in order to face of this malady, which is not just social. In view of this national conjuncture, the question arises of investigating the possible symbiosis of economic growth, produced by the mineral extractive sector, and human development, with regard to gender equality in this environment. It so happens that the implementation of this practice does not only involve legal aspects, but also the analysis of the local community, of tools of a feminist content that give women autonomy, considering that, due to the cultural load in our country, women would be doomed to maintain themselves. only in the domestic environment, focused on motherhood and care of the home and people. In this vein, there are worrying differences to the disadvantage of women in the analyzed labor market, making it necessary to identify this dimension of the sexual division of labor.
