SUMMARY:

Introduction: Health currently comprises more than the absence of disease, in this sense, it is necessary to take into account a series of other factors, such as: cultural, genetic, environmental, individual, and among others, social factors. Thus, the Social Determinants of Health (SDH) are, among many, some of these essential aspects to consider in the health/disease process. Work, considered a DSS, must be guaranteed to each and every citizen regardless of race, ethnicity, color, sexual orientation and gender. However, in the case of transvestite and transgender people, an absence of these people in the work environment is observed, as well as exclusion, prejudice, transphorbia, for those who manage formal and informal jobs. Therefore, it is necessary to understand how this specific population is inserted in the labor market, as this, as well as other DSS, directly impact the life of this population, which is still very vulnerable. Objective: To understand and locate how transvestites and transgender people are inserted in the labor market. Methodology: This is a scope review, carried out in the Scielo, Scopus, Web of Science, Pubmed and GreyLit databases. In the search, descriptors related to the two thematic areas involved in the review were used, namely: Gender and Occupational Health. The descriptors were inserted in the search key of the research using the Boolean operators “OR” between descriptors of the same theme, and the Boolean operator “AND”, as the operator responsible for uniting the descriptors of the different thematic areas. Results: Based on the search strategy used: 2,488 articles were found in Scopus; 302 articles on Scielo; 2,322 articles on the Web of Science; 991 articles in Pubmed and 12 articles in the Greylit database. After excluding duplicate articles, 3,507 articles remained for reading titles, abstracts and keywords. After selecting these articles, a total of 336 articles remained for reading in full. Finally, the final report of this review is composed of a total of 142 articles. Conclusions: The literature shows that transgender and transvestite people are mostly engaged in sex work, underemployed or unemployed. In addition, others are inserted in occupational ghettos, in which professions related to beauty, aesthetics, artists in concert halls prevail; professions generally associated with the “feminine”. Those who are inserted in the formal and/or informal labor market are subjected to situations of transphobia and prejudice, generally being kept in the same positions, even if they are qualified for positions and promotions at a higher hierarchical level. Those transsexuals and transvestites who go through the transition/hormone therapy process within the workplace tend to suffer more discrimination.
