Implicações do neoliberalismo nas condições de trabalho e na vida das trabalhadoras da Assistência Social: uma revisão sistemática de literatura

Abstract

This systematic literature review brings considerations about the implications of neoliberalism on the working conditions and lives of Social Assistance workers. After a systematic search in the databases Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO-Brazil), Electronic Journals in Psychology (PePSIC), Virtual Health Library - Psychology Brazil (VHL-Psi Brazil) and Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature (LILACS) using the descriptors "Social Assistance and Precariousness", "Social Assistance and Neoliberalism" and "Social Assistance and Subjectivity", eight articles remained to compose the final review. In view of the scarcity of studies that specifically address this theme, no limitations were established in the search regarding the time frame of the publications. After that, the analysis of the results was organized into three analytical categories: 1) Professional profile; (2) Working conditions and 3) Life time and working time. The results show that neoliberal strategies in Brazil have produced impacts on the working conditions and lives of workers in the Social Assistance policy in different ways, with the precariousness of work, in terms of outsourcing and the flexibilization of labor rights, being the most evident expression of these phenomena, generating psychosocial repercussions that affect professional practice, as well as the health and subjectivity of these workers, who are the most affected in the reality of operationalization of these policies. It is concluded that it is necessary, effectively, to make it possible to guarantee the rights of assisted people without putting at risk the rights of those who enforce them.
