The participation of women in the labor market under the perspective of social justice by Nancy Fraser and the concepts of decent work

Abstract

The increasing inclusion of women in the labor market has highlighted important issues, especially in the social, political and economic spheres. In this context, there are expressive difficulties faced by working women, essentially characterized by situations of prejudice, discrimination and stereotypes. The present article deals with these conditions of female participation in the labor market and intends to emphasize the relevance of the reach of social justice, in the terms proposed by the American philosopher Nancy Fraser, through the promotion of decent work and in accordance with the concepts of the International Labour Organization (ILO), a multilateral agency of the United Nations (UN), represented by governments, employers and workers. Increasingly, labor relations anchored in social justice and decent work, in a joint manner, provide valuable opportunities for the achievement of a society with equal opportunities for men and women.
