Racismo estrutural e mercado de trabalho : uma análise sociológica do desenvolvimento de carreira de mulheres negras no Banco Itaú na cidade de Goiânia

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the career development of black women at Banco Itaú, in Goiânia, focusing on the implications of structural racism in the labor market. The research aims to understand how institutional practices and structural prejudices affect the professional advancement of these women, exploring factors such as socioeconomic profile, academic background, and professional history. The central question of the research is: how does structural racism impact the career development of black women in the banking sector? To this end, the research aims to identify manifestations of racism in the corporate environment and the disparities in the representation and advancement of black women, especially in the highest hierarchies of the institution. The justification for conducting this study lies in the gap in the literature on race and gender relations in the state of Goiás, particularly in the context of the labor market. Although Brazil has a large population of women in the banking sector, the presence of black women, especially in leadership positions, is significantly reduced. The research proves relevant to understand the dynamics of exclusion and the resistance strategies of these women in the corporate environment. The methodology adopted will be qualitative, with analysis of data obtained through semi-structured interviews with female employees of Banco Itaú, in addition to observations on the hierarchical structure and promotion criteria. The expected results include the identification of racial barriers and their social and psychological consequences, contributing to the reflection on more inclusive and anti-racist policies in the banking and corporate sector.
