Open-access What’s new in the new forms of work? An analysis based on feminist political economy

This article contributes to studies on recent transformations in the Brazilian labor market, guided by feminist political economy, to discuss dimensions of gender, race, and class. Based on an analysis of microdata from PNADC/IBGE for the years 2016, 2019, and 2022, we examine the evolution of the main variables that reflect the situation of exploitation, discrimination, and exclusion of women in the labor market. The article discusses the complex interactions between the spheres of production and reproduction, the deepening of precariousness and informality in work, and the emergence of new forms of occupation. These new forms of work, although they may offer alternatives for emancipation, also reinforce liberal discourses of “entrepreneurship” as solutions to social exclusion, perpetuating historical patterns of inequality.
