Um olhar sobre trajetória do homem gay na inserção no mercado de trabalho em Santana do Livramento/RS na fronteira Brasil/Uruguai

Abstract

The job market has undergone changes in recent years and with this companies have become increasingly demanding in their recruitment and selection processes, also with a new perception of diversity. Even so, when we get to know the labor market, we see that sexual orientation is sometimes one of the main difficulties encountered when trying to enter the labor market, and LGBTQIA people are the most affected in this regard.With that the research had as general objective to describe the trajectory of gays regarding insertion in the labor market at the border, in order to understand the main difficulties faced by gay men to enter the labor market and how agencies perceive the way that local companies they deal with diversity. The methodology used was an exploratory and descriptive research with a qualitative approach, with online interviews with gay men and with recruitment and selection agencies. Among the results, it is highlighted that: the main difficulties faced by gays to enter the labor market is, most of the times, the lack of training; age or lack of professional experience and not their sexual orientation, despite having already experienced some type of embarrassment in their workplaces; in employment agencies, the perception was that local companies already have a vision of diversified teams, but still do not have an organizational culture molded for this purpose.
