| Resumo: |
Work has undergone great transformations since the industrial revolution. Asset management does not employ as many people as it used to employ before, and production systems have been rationalized and technologically enhanced, mechanizing various processes that now dispense human labor. Nowadays, the service sector is responsible for employing a large part of the Brazilian population, however it is possible to identify a movement that seeks to make labor legislation more flexible and to transfer, more and more, the responsibility and risks of the business to the workers, so that the very figure of the worker seems threatened. Therefore this study seeks to analyze the service in the service sector, using the hygiene and beauty branch as object, focusing on the following questions: the entrepreneurial discourse and the Brazilian regulation, the conditions of work in this field, social programs aimed at the training of professionals in the field and the professionalization of this labor activity, the legal regulations that regulate the labor relations present in this branch and the trajectories of the workers who are in this field. This research is justified, because in Brazil we find few studies about the work in the service sector, especially, on the hygiene and beauty workers. In this sense, the present study seeks to contribute to the debate on the transformations in the world of work and the transformations in the regulation that deals with the work in Brazil as well as the debate on the study of the professional trajectories and the formation of the labor identity. The methodology that guides the research is the triangulation, that contemplates the techniques of qualitative and quantitative research. Some data were produced from a database of national research institutions. In addition, fieldwork was carried out by semi-structured interviews with workers in the hygiene and beauty sector. This study was financed in part by the Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - Brasil (CAPES) - Finance Code 001. |
