Mulheres, negras e doentes crônicas: os efeitos múltiplos no mercado de trabalho no Brasil

Resumen

This article explores the multiple effects of identity factors on the labor market of women, black women, and chronically ill in Brazil. We identified that chronic disease reduces the economic participation and employment of black women, more than healthy black women; It has less repercussions on color inequalities and intensifies gender inequalities. Black women suffer more pronounced effects of the disease on the decision to work than on the job. Sick and poor black women reveal lower participation in the labor force compared to their non-poor peers and white women with similar health conditions, despite having an advantage in occupation in relation to sick white women. The overlapping of profiles modifies the penalties for insertion and employment for black women in the labor market, which reinforces the importance of public policies that value intersectionalities in this context.
