O impacto da desigualdade racial no mercado de trabalho brasileiro na contemporaneidade

Abstract

Racism is understood as discriminatory practices based on race and skin color, manifested through insults, acts of violence, and social inequalities. Racial inequality is a structural phenomenon that has persisted throughout Brazil’s history. Racial inequality is entrenched in the black population through difficulties in accessing employment, education, and professional qualifications, as well as through deprivation of access to public and social policies that shape access to rights and opportunities, particularly in the social sphere. Racial inequality is widespread in the labor market, failing to guarantee equal pay and career advancement opportunities. Therefore, this study aims to analyze how structural racism influences opportunities for professional integration and advancement for the black population. It discusses the social development of the black population and its impact on labor relations, as well as the wage gap in the labor market as a whole. The results indicate that even with the creation of public policies that guarantee racial protection, racial inequality remains a challenge and an obstacle to promoting equity in labor relations in Brazil.
