A inserção de mães solo no mercado de trabalho no capitalismo contemporâneo

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the obstacles to the participation of women who are solo mothers in the capitalist labor market, understanding the challenges in reconciling productive work and reproductive work carried out mostly by females in a racist heteropatriarchal society. To approach the topic, we carried out a bibliographic survey using the categories of motherhood, solo mothers, heads of family and female work as the search axis. The bibliographical review and analytical synthesis led us to identify that a myth about motherhood still remains in society, which, combined with the absence of public care policies, ends up overloading women and directly interfering in their work relationships.
