They went from 12% to 23% of the total employed in 10 years. With the new law, a portion should go

RIO AND SAO PAULO - The group home is not benefited by the new rights being approved in Congress is precisely that which grows more: that of day laborers. In January 2003 they represented 12.6% of the category in the six largest metropolitan areas (the annual average was 14.1%). In May this year, the share had almost doubled, 23.7% to 340,000 day laborers in a universe of 1.43 million employed. At the other end, the group calls salaried shrank from 87.4% to 76.3%, show the IBGE. Experts believe that the adoption of domestic law will further intensify this movement.
- It's a trend that had been accentuated in large urban centers and will intensify throughout the country with the new laws. First the maid gone full time, then sleeping on the job, and now that the work week. The apartments and families have gotten smaller, what still needs to change is the sexual division of labor, with greater participation of men - says Hildete Araujo, a professor and researcher of the UFF housework.
Cimar Azeredo, research manager Jobs IBGE, sees the increase in the number of laborers as a positive indicator. It is estimated that in the whole country they are already more than two million workers. In part, the phenomenon is a result of greater access to education and the improvement in the labor market, which opened possibilities professionals to low-income women, especially younger women.
- The supply of labor for hand fell, and those that were had earned wages. So, it was a phenomenon of cause twofold families exchanged employed by diarist to reduce fixed costs, and workers realized that going to various houses could even double the salary. And it comes before the change in law. If the law will accentuate this, no one knows. But all incur more charges will cause the employer can not be used with the entire week - says.
Side of the laborers, nor the prospect of equal rights of others for domestic workers - such as overtime and FGTS, some already approved by Congress and others still awaiting regulations - seems enticing enough to want to return to regular work.
- Only regret is not to have changed earlier. Today I work less and earn more. Keep my two children alone and I can still save a buck. And get off work before 16h to get the lowest, 2 years in daycare - Jerusa account Camilo dos Santos, 37, who works in Rio and two years ago changed the employment of 20 years and the minimum monthly salary for five houses different throughout the week, £ 90 per day.
Since the rule for domestic was approved, the diarist Lucilene Pereira dos Santos has turned down three invitations to work: your schedule is packed. At 39 years and two teenage daughters, she still does nozzles evening babysitter for two other mistresses. Before that, in 2009, Lucilene, working in São Paulo, was assistant general services.
With the increase of income and the help of her husband, family Lucilene managed to buy a house and a used car, thanks to the increase in the number of cleanings. To crown the effort at the beginning of the year has achieved another dream: the car has changed "old man" (1995) by a zero kilometer.
- I gave half (car value), which joined with the money from the sale of the old car, and I'm paying the other party in 48 times - she says, that has managed to advance two installments, thanks to the nozzles as a nanny.
Patricia Lino Costa, Dieese economist, says that the increase in the number of day laborers reflects changes in families that do not always need more than one full-time person, and need to adjust the budget:
- The diarist is most vulnerable, has no social security protection, it is does not get sick. But it is attracted by this instant win, since the salary per hour is much higher than the mensalista.
Was the need for this immediate gain that seduced Maria Celia Silva, 56, a veteran in the profession and responsible for cleaning 14 different houses at a cost of £ 100 per day.
- Work up on Saturdays and I have no room for anyone else. When I turned diarist was to take some money home every day. The husband had dropped me alone with three children and I could not wait until the end of the month to receive. Today, my daughters are married and I think I made a good choice - she says, part of the minority that pays Social Security to ensure the retirement of a minimum wage.
Problem in future pension
Patricia alert to the need to provide guarantees to this group of workers.
We have to rethink the diarist. It is a large contingent increased and the country's average, only 4% of them contribute to Social Security. It takes a pact not to leave them on the sidelines of rights.
Cimar Azeredo remember that tends to generate a problem in the future, when they can no longer work and need to receive a retirement benefit for which they contributed.
