EMPREGADO DOMÉSTICO: FISCALIZAÇÃO E CARACTERIZAÇÃO DO TRABALHO ESCRAVO

Abstract

ABSTRACT: This article aims to define work in conditions analogous to slavery in the domestic environment, as well as the fight against it carried out by the competent bodies of the country. The recognition of the rights of domestic workers and what characterizes the employment relationship in this context serve as the basis for the research in question. The problem involves the current configuration of work analogous to slavery and the national and international instruments that address the subject. The methodology used was qualitative bibliographic research of current and revoked legislation, articles and reports, information released by official institutions, as well as judgments on the subject. It is concluded that there is legislation and instruments for the repression of work in conditions analogous to slavery; however, the monitoring mechanisms still do not reach the domestic environment efficiently. Based on the data released, more research is needed to develop specific public policies for the type of condition analogous to slavery in the domestic environment.
