| dc.description.abstract | Historically, Brazil has always lived with inequality. On the one hand, it constitutes the
absolute poverty of many and, on the other, the class advantages arising from the
possession of capital from a restricted group. Between 2003 and 2014, social changes
occurred in the country, creating opportunities for the least deprived groups and, in this
context, studies on intergenerational mobility are extremely important. However, in Brazil,
research has focused on measuring the indicators of social and occupational mobility of
men, thus, the intergenerational mobility of women and the groups occupied by them are
incipient in the national literature. Moreover, given the relative and absolute weight of
domestic employment in total female occupations, the objective of this paper is to analyze
the intergenerational mobility indicators of the occupation of the daughters of domestic
workers, stratified by sociodemographic variables (cohorts of entry into the labor market
and condition of migration) for the Great Brazilian Regions, in 2014. Therefore, the main
source of information is the Supplement of Socio-occupational Mobility of the National
Survey by Sample of Households (PNAD) of 2014. From the comparison between the
occupational strata in the first and current work of the daughters in relation to the maternal
condition, the findings show that the vast majority of the daughters of domestic workers
achieved better occupations in relation to their mothers, in the five regions of Brazil in
2014. However, it was found that in the first job of the daughters, domestic work still
presents itself in an expressive way as a gateway into the labor market, but in the current
work of daughters in relation to their mothers, there was a significant reduction in those
who were employed as domestic workers, and a considerable increase in the proportion of
daughters who achieved upward intergenerational mobility. With regard to absolute
mobility rates according to the labor market entry cohorts, the results show that in all
cohorts, with the exception of those who entered between 1958 and 1969, in the North and
South, most daughters in current work found better jobs than their mothers, with the highest
figures for upward mobility being experienced by the 2006-2014 cohorts in the five regions
in 2014. With regard to mobility indicators according to the condition of migration, with
the exception of those who emigrated from the Midwest to the North, more than half of the
interregional or intraregional migrant daughters achieved occupational growth at the
destination. In addition, the notes of this dissertation corroborate that the social and
inclusive changes triggered in the country, from 2003, were decisive on the possibilities of
intergenerational rise of the socioeconomically less privileged groups, especially in the
construction of new life trajectories for the daughters of domestic workers. | |
