Relações de género: atitudes e comportamento dos empregadores em relação a contratação de mulheres no sector do turismo

Abstract

The tourism sector is geared towards providing services aimed at welcoming tourists, offering: accommodation, food, leisure, among others. Often, these services are associated with women, as they are linked to reproductive work. The research aimed to evaluate the attitudes and behaviors of employers regarding the hiring of women in the tourism sector. Thus, women are mostly employed as chambermaids, cooks, receptionists, among other services that are not related to management and good remuneration. Methodologically, the research was of a quantitative-qualitative nature, using semi-structured interviews with 36 women and a questionnaire administered to 22 managers of tourist establishments. The research results allowed us to assess the challenges faced by women working in the tourism sector, as well as identify the factors that influence employers in hiring women. Based on these results, it can be concluded that inequalities exist in job occupation, since the proportion of women varies according to the economic activity.(TRADUÇÃO NOSSA)
