O alcance da Lei nº 14.611/2023 na promoção da igualdade salarial e os desafios em face da LGPD (Lei 13.709/2018): impactos na promoção da justiça de gênero

Abstract

This paper discusses gender inequalities in the workplace, with an emphasis on the pay gap between men and women. The research examines the new Lei da Igualdade Salarial (Lei nº 14.611/2023 and highlights the practical challenges in light of the Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (Lei nº 13.709/2018), analyzing the impacts of legal instruments in promoting gender justice in the Brazilian labor market. The study emphasizes the central role of Labor Law in reducing pay gaps, revealing how gender discrimination remains a reality with profound economic and social effects. The research is based on a literature review and discusses how technology, when incorporated into people management, can both reinforce and mitigate existing inequalities. Brazilian legislation, in line with international treaties, recognizes the principle of equal pay, but its application faces legal and institutional obstacles. The paper highlights relevant court decisions and proposes a reflection on the insufficiency of current regulations in view of the complexity of the problem. The conclusion indicates that, although there are regulatory advances, they do not fully translate into fair practices. For equal pay to become a reality, it is essential to strengthen oversight, promote cultural changes and adopt effective and integrated public policies between the public and private sectors
