• 00:00:00 In this section of the YouTube video titled "Pesquisa revela que mulheres recebem 19,4% menos que os homens no Brasil," Maira Leal from SBT Pará discusses the difference in salaries between men and women in Brazil. According to a report released by the Ministries of Labor and Employment and Women, women earn 19.4% less than men on average. The report is based on information provided by companies with over 100 employees since the Equal Pay Law was passed last year. Companies are required to report their remuneration policies, including promotion criteria, to the Ministry of Labor and Employment. The report also reveals that women in leadership positions earn even less, with a difference of over 25%. Women of color are also underrepresented in the formal labor market, representing less than 17% of the workforce despite being the majority in Brazil. The average salary for a woman of color in Brazil is 3,000 reais, while the average salary for a white man is 2,600 reals, resulting in a significant pay gap. The report also highlights regional disparities, with some states, such as Brasília, Sergipe, and Piauí, showing less discrepancy in salary differences. The report represents almost half of formal businesses in Brazil and will help strengthen policies to combat wage inequality and enforce the Equal Pay Law. Companies found to have wage disparities have 90 days to present a plan of action to address the issue, or they may be warned and fined.
