Equidade no cenário profissional brasileiro: uma análise dos impactos da desigualdade salarial de gênero no mercado financeiro

Abstract

The aim of this study is to analyze the impacts of gender wage inequality in the Brazilian financial market, in light of the Social Reproduction Theory. This monograph is divided into three main chapters. The first presents the theoretical and structural foundations of gender inequality in the workplace, with an emphasis on the sexual division of labor, the precarization of female labor, and the disproportionate burden of care work assumed by women. The second chapter provides the historical context of wage inequality in Brazil, with a focus on the financial sector, highlighting the persistence of structural barriers, occupational segmentation between men and women, and the phenomenon of the “glass ceiling.” The third chapter discusses public policies, national legislation, and both corporate and international initiatives aimed at reducing inequalities, emphasizing the advances and ongoing challenges in promoting gender equity in the professional environment. The research is based on a literature review of key authors and supported by data from the ILO, IBGE, and other official sources
