Abstract | Worldwide, waste pickers are exposed to adverse health effects resulting from hazards at
work. This study aimed to identify possible gender disparities among waste pickers. A quantitative
cross-sectional epidemiological study, using semi-structured data was conducted in
Estrutural’s dumpsite, Bras ılia, Brazil. It included 1,025 waste pickers, with 67% being female.
Most of them lived without partners (73.7%), have 3 to 4 children (47.8%), and have a lower
monthly income (62.6%<USD 125) when compared to men (p<0,001). Women also suffered
from worse health outcomes than men: hypertension- 26.3%; 16.2% (p<0.001), bronchitis-
16.4%; 9.7% (p 0,003), diarrhea- 28.3; 17.0 and worms- 16.0; 5.5% (p<0,001),
respectively. This study highlighted the existence of gender differences among waste pickers,
which suggests a greater vulnerability of the female population who need policies, programs
and awareness of society to ensure safe working and living conditions both for them
and their children. | pt_BR |
