O impacto social da legislação trabalhista na contratação e mantença da mão de obra feminina no mercado de trabalho

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to analyze the social influence exercised in the elaboration of legal provisions with regard to the promotional and protectionist norms of women found in our legal system. For this, the explanatory method is used in order to identify factors that legitimize and hinder the hiring of workers in the work environment. In the development of the research, we went through the current legislation, analyzing under the Constitution, CLT and other sparse rules that protect women within the work environment. It is known that, over the years, the female sex has been treated in a discriminatory and unequal way in relation to men, which corroborated the division of functions attributed due to the gender difference, showing that the world took time to discover the obvious: that humanity is not only made up of men, but also women. The idea is to promote awareness of the achievements, show that there are still differences to be overcome, point out flaws in the legislation and allow advances in the social and legal status of women, through a critical analysis of normative changes over time and their practical consequences.
