Esta investigação é uma proposta para a discussão da posição social e económica de trabalhadoras negras auxiliares de geriatria, argumentando como é que o género, classe e raça se interligam historicamente e intervêm na trajetória profissional e pessoal destas mulheres: qual o impacto nas dinâmicas familiares, nas condições económicas doméstico-familiares e nos problemas de saúde física e mental que resultam das funções que desempenham, como também, os olhares críticos das trabalhadoras e os processos de resistência desencadeados para a sua sobrevivência, são as questões que nortearam esta tese. A abordagem metodológica passou pela realização de um estudo de caso sobre auxiliares de geriatria na Área Metropolitana de Lisboa através de entrevistas semiestruturadas com 6 mulheres negras, entre os 29 e os 52 anos de idade, todas portuguesas e com países de naturalidade diferentes, que desempenham funções no sector.
Esta tese debruça-se sobre a forma como o capitalismo é gerador de exploração e opressão das mulheres no quadro da reprodução social e de capital. As mulheres estão sobre-representadas nos trabalhos mais precários e com as piores remunerações. As mulheres não-brancas tendem a permanecer a força de trabalho mais barata, altamente explorada e violentada, nas profissões mais precárias e trabalhos pouco ou não-qualificados. O envelhecimento populacional tem influenciado o aumento dos serviços de geriatria. A dificuldade em encontrar força de trabalho nacional disposta a desempenhar tarefas tão duras, precárias e mal remuneradas, influenciam a sobre-representação de mão-de-obra imigrante e/ou negra no sector.
This investigation is a proposal for the discussion of the social and economic position of black working women in Portugal, arguing how gender, class and race are historically interconnected and intervene in the professional and personal trajectory of these women: what is the impact on family dynamics, in the domestic-family economic conditions and in the physical and mental health problems that result from the functions they perform as also their critical views and the processes of resistence iniciated for their survival,are the questions that guided this thesis. The methodological approach involved conducting a case study on geriatric assistants in the Metropolitan Area of Lisbon through semi-structured interviews with 6 black women, between 29 and 52 years of age, all Portuguese and with different countries of birth, performing functions in the sector. This thesis looks at how capitalism generates the exploitation and oppression of women in the context of social and capital reproduction. Women are overrepresented in the most precarious jobs and with the lowest pay. Non-white women tend to remain the cheapest, highly exploited and abused labor force, in the most precarious professions and low or unskilled jobs. Population aging has influenced the increase in geriatric services. The difficulty in finding a national workforce willing to perform such hard, precarious and underpaid tasks, influences the over-representation of immigrant and / or black labor in the sector.
