| Summary: | Different economic, social, demographic, climatic, and cultural contexts influence inequalities between men and women regarding paid work and reproductive (unpaid) work in Brazil. The aim of this study is to carry out a spatial analysis (at regional and state level) to verify whether there was a reduction in these inequalities between 2005 and 2015 in the various socioeconomic and demographic contexts. The data used are from IBGE's National Household Sample Survey (PNAD). Gender inequalities in labor market participation are greater in the poorest states in the North and Northeast regions. Inequalities in average remuneration are greater in the richest states in the South and Southeast, where the proportion of occupations requiring more skills is higher. The differentials in the time dedicated to housework and paid work have reduced in all the states, as women have decreased the time dedicated to home and increased the time dedicated to paid work. But gender inequalities remain high, for different reasons in each regional context. |
