BRAGA, Natalia L.; ARAUJO, Noália M. de  e  MACIEL, Regina Heloisa. Work conditions of women: an integrative review of the brazilian literature. Psicol. teor. prat. [online]. 2019, vol.21, n.2, pp. 232-251. ISSN 1516-3687.  http://dx.doi.org/10.5935/1980-6906/psicologia.v21n2p232-251.

The study aimed to identify, describe and analyze the conditions of women's work reported in the Brazilian scientific literature. An integrative review was performed in the SciELO and PePSIC databases, using the descriptors “trabalho feminino” and “trabalho AND gênero”. The search resulted in 238 articles, of which 22 were selected. The analysis resulted into three categories: Gender relations and conflicts in the work environment; Work and family; and Precarization of the work. Precarious work, power relations and the sexual division of labor are the main dimensions related to the working conditions of women. Gender differences remain entrenched in the female labor context and are often treated in a naturalized way. The conquest of a place in the world of work by women happened in parallel with the perpetuation of obligations towards the family and, as a consequence, established a double (or triple) working day.

Palavras-chave : women's work; precarization; gender inequality; sexual division of labor; work conditions.
