As jornadas de trabalho das mulheres no contexto da pandemia de covid-19 : análise a partir do Grupo de Mulheres da cidade de Poço de José Moura - PB.

Abstract

The present study aims to understand how the workdays of the women of the Women's Group of the Women's Coordination of the city of Poço de José de Moura - PB took place in the context of the covid-19 pandemic (2020-2021). The research sought to outline a brief socioeconomic profile of the women; understand women's perceptions about their labor insertion, since it is there that the sexual and social division of labor takes place and causes women to end up subjugated to having a double or triple work shift and assuming multiple roles: mother, wife, housewife, worker, etc. In addition, the research also sought to understand the effects of the coronavirus pandemic on women's working hours and how it affected their lives. We brought brief considerations on the ontological foundations of work, the conditions of social reproduction of the female workforce and the Brazilian particularities, to understand the effects of the covid-19 pandemic on women. In this perspective, this research is of a qualitative nature, bibliographical study with emphasis on the authors: Antunes (2005), Cisne (2012), Safiotti (2004), Engels (1985), using the semi-structured interview technique. Its methodological matrix is the dialectical critical method, which seeks to understand the object in its entirety. With regard to the results of the research, we highlight that it was possible to identify a large contingent of women inserted in informality, with double or triple workdays sometimes unknown to them, and even though their lives were affected by the covid-19 pandemic, such as mental health.
