Relationship between precarious work and racism for migrants in Brazil

Abstract Amid the growing global flow of goods, workers migrating in search of work face a major challenge of integration in destination countries. Issues of racism and discrimination emerge in the workplace, causing inequality of opportunity. This research aims to describe the relationship between precarious work, discrimination at work, and perception of racism by migrant workers. The preliminary analysis of scientific production on the subject in Brazil suggests that the racist social structure is a condition for the insertion of migrant workers in precarious working conditions, compromising their social insertion. A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted through a survey of four ethnic groups from different Brazilian regions. The results confirm the influence of precarious work on the perception of racism, with discrimination at work being a moderating variable in this relationship.

摘要 伴随全球商品跨境流动的日益频繁，为谋求就业而跨国迁徙的移民务工人员在目的地国家面临社会融入的重大挑战。职场中滋生的种族主义与歧视现象会引发机会分配不公。本研究旨在厘清移民务工人员的不稳定就业（precarious work）、职场歧视与种族主义感知三者间的关联机制。针对巴西境内该主题的前期学术产出分析显示，种族主义社会结构是移民务工人员陷入不稳定就业状态的前置条件，进而损害其社会融入进程。本研究采用定量横断研究设计，通过问卷调查对巴西不同地区的四个族群开展调研。研究结果证实，不稳定就业对种族主义感知存在显著影响，且职场歧视在该关联中发挥调节变量的作用。
