| dc.description.abstract | The present dissertation examines the outsourcing of female labour based on
the human right to decent work, in order to examine whether or not the two concepts
are in harmony, considering the brazilian context. The dissertation in question
intends to investigate to what extent the outsourcing of female labour and the human
right to decent work can dialogue. To assess whether or not the outsourcing of
female labour is in line with the human right to decent work, this study is divided into
two chapters, with a research method based on dialectical materialism. First, it is
necessary to understand the meaning of work for contemporary capitalist society.
From this conception, we seek to understand how gender and work are articulated to
form the concept of sexual division of labour. After assessing the consequences of
the link between gender and work, the notion of working class is defined for the
present day, prioritizing the conceptualization of class from a gender perspective.
Afterwards, the notion of outsourcing and its impacts on the world of work are
examined, mainly from outsourced workers. Afterwards, the concept of decent work
is analyzed, based on the understanding of the International Labor Organization
(ILO) on the subject. At the end of this dissertation, it is observed how the outsourced
work relationship, especially with regard to Brazilian workers, is not in accordance
with the human right to decent work, approaching to the concept of social
precariousness of labour, which presents itself as an antagonistic conception of
decent work. | en |
