A dupla jornada de trabalho feminino: realidade, implicações e perspectivas

Abstract

In this study, we sought to investigate the woman’s work double journey – paid and domestic - and the implications of this, in many ways, in the life of the Basic Education teachers, from a gender perspective. To achieve the intended objectives in this study, there was a bibliographic research, in which it was obtained the contribution of several authors on: the inclusion of women in the labor market, women's emancipation, women in the teaching profession, gender inequalities in labor relations, among others. In addition, a field survey was conducted, approved by the Ethics Committee of the Catholic University of Goiás (CEP PUC Goiás), whose subjects were teachers of two Early Childhood Municipal Centers (CMEIs) in the city of Goiania. In this research, questionnaires were used as data collection technique, and the results were based on the literature survey. In this research, documents were also analyzed related to Early Childhood Education in Brazil, as well as the Political- Pedagogical Propose/2016 in CMEIs, where field research was accomplished. This research was developed with qualitative and quantitative approaches, in order to better explain the results. In analyzing the data, the long work journey developed by the teachers surveyed, involving the two workspaces, in which they act in their daily lives. The implications of this double journey were also evident on physical and emotional health of the majority of the surveyed teachers. Before this reality, we sought to reflect on prospects that can change this situation experienced not only by the teachers of Early Childhood Education, but also by the majority of women workers in various professions.
