Over 1,700 fixed-term contracts of pregnant women, new parents or those on parental leave were not renewed

TVI Notícias8 September 2026 at 21:17

Over 1,700 fixed-term contracts of pregnant women, new parents or people on parental leave were not renewed, according to data from the Commission for Equality in Labour and Employment (CITE). These numbers raise significant concerns about discriminatory practices in the labour market. The situation highlights the increased vulnerability of these workers, who may be subject to differential treatment due to their parental status. The competent authorities have expressed concern regarding these data, considering that this reality contributes to job insecurity and may represent violations of the principle of equality in employment.

Financial market: what are 'defensive stocks'?

In the CBN Dinheiro program, specialist Marcelo d'Agosto explains the concept of defensive stocks in response to a question from listener Guilherme. According to him, defensive stocks are securities from companies operating in already consolidated sectors of the economy, such as electric energy companies, which require high initial investments to build plants and transmission networks, but then have approximately constant costs and revenues. Because they depend mainly on operational efficiency, these companies are less impacted by external factors that affect the economy in general. Thus, defensive stocks are presented as an alternative for investors seeking lower volatility and greater predictability in financial results.
