The COVID-19 pandemic had an impact on the personal, professional, and academic routines of female Brazilian teleworkers. This study aims to analyze the impact of teleworking on the lives of Brazilian women amid the pandemic. The method was a quantitative and exploratory approach, and an online cross-sectional survey conducted with 478 women. The results showed a positive correlation between academic routines and teleworking (p < 0.05; r > 0.00) and a significant association between emotional health and academic routines (p < 0.001). Black women were shown to expend more effort toward academic activities than White women (p < 0.044). The study results contribute to the social sciences by demonstrating the impact of COVID-19 on Brazilian women in teleworking and indicate potential implications for policy formulation and public management in Brazil.
Apesar existência de cooperativas de catadores atuando em diversos pontos das cidades, alguns catadores preferem atuar de forma isolada, fazendo o recolhimento dos resíduos sólidos urbanos como forma de sobrevivência nas ruas. No presente artigo, busca-se compreender porque alguns catadores de materiais recicláveis preferem atuar informalmente, fora das cooperativas. Com isso, analisa-se o perfil dos indivíduos investigados, a sua a atuação no contexto das ruas e os elementos que levam a esse desinteresse em criar vínculos com as cooperativas e associações de reciclagem. O texto discute se esse fenômeno se constitui em uma opção ou uma resistência contra as cooperativas, além de apontar desafios e perspectivas dessa escolha. Por fim, são discutidos o papel da sociedade civil, do Estado, dos atores de mercado e do próprio movimento de catadores frente a essa realidade de atuação independente nas ruas.
