The precarization of brazilian domestic work

considerations from the patriarchal and slavery models

Abstract

Despite Brazilian slavery having been abolished in late May 1888 and, despite the existence of broad national and international legislation to protect domestic workers in the current period, their work continues to be precarious. Given this scenario, the work's central objective is to discuss the patriarchal and slave models as consequences of the precariousness of domestic work in Brazil. Thus, following the inductive approach method combined with the historical and bibliographical procedure, the study aimed to answer whether the patriarchal and slave models present at the time of the formation of Brazilian society contributed to the precariousness of domestic work in Brazil? And the answer was affirmative, since such systems cooperated in the formation of a society that, currently, continues to cause dozens of workers to be subjected to degrading working conditions and exhausting working hours, thus making the work carried out in the domestic environment precarious.
