Avaliação dos impactos da pandemia de covid-19 na empregabilidade das mulheres brasileiras

Abstract

The study titled "Assessment of the Impacts of the covid-19 Pandemic on the Employability of Brazilian Women" analyzes the transformations in the female labor market between 2012 and 2022, with a focus on the impacts of the covid-19 pandemic. The research examines the trajectory of female participation in the workforce, identifying persistent gender inequalities in occupational sectors, earnings, and working conditions. Using data from IBGE and MTE, the study assesses how the health crisis affected women's formal and informal labor insertion, highlighting additional challenges faced due to caregiving responsibilities and vulnerability in the most affected sectors. The analysis reflects the limitations of traditional economic theories in explaining gender disparity and underscores the need for public policies that promote equity in the labor market.
