Migração laboral feminina entre países do sul global: o caso das trabalhadoras domésticas migrantes filipinas em São Paulo

Abstract

This work conducts a study on the phenomenon of labor migration, focusing on the insertion of women in migratory flows, based on the international and sexual division of labor. It demonstrates the persistence of female vulnerability in precarious occupations, such as domestic work, and how this intensifies for migrant women. The analysis deals with South-South Migration and its object of study is Filipino women who live in the city of São Paulo.and are employed as domestic workers. The research is structured through the following methods: a bibliographic review; analysis of International Conventions and Brazilian laws that regulate domestic work, including International Convention n. 189 and Recommendation no. 201 of the International Labor Organization, in the national legislative apparatus, emphasis is given to Constitutional Amendment n. 72/2013 and to Complementary Law 150/2015; quantitative and qualitative studies, based on the analysis of existing studies and a data collection carried out in this work. The analysis shows that the inclusion of migrant women in this occupation in Brazil takes place in a scenario of greater protection directed to this work by Brazilian laws, which displeases employers, who choose to hire more vulnerable workers who accept the imposed conditions. Regarding Filipino domestic workers, it is observed that they are hired for their fluency in the English language and because they are considered multitasks.
