Percepções sobre o papel das políticas públicas relacionadas ao trabalho e responsabilidades familiares

Abstract

This article analyzes the prevalent conceptions about the relationship of social policies – labor rights, early childhood services and care for the elderly – withpaid work and family care work. This is a sample and probabilistic survey with 1000 peoplein the state of Rio de Janeiro, between the years of 2013 and 2015. The prevailing perception assigns eminently to families the care of young children and dependent elderly people. The results show that, in order to overcome gender structures, public policies directed towards care need to be expanded and de-commodified, in face of gender inequalities in the labor market and within families, as evidenced by the survey.
