Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effects of precarious work and social inequality in access to free time and the practice of physical activities on workers' quality of life. Literature review: Precarious work is a set of conditions and practices that have a negative impact on quality of life and are influenced by social inequality in the labor market. This makes it difficult to have equitable access to jobs and quality and adequate education, in addition to limiting access to free time, which leads to harmful health conditions such as fatigue, burnout syndrome, chronic pain and depression. Therefore, worker satisfaction demonstrates the need, for example, for the implementation of a sense of community, support from superiors for their needs, active breaks during work and others that are fundamental for the better promotion of physical and mental health. Final considerations: It is essential to establish public policies and business practices to promote healthy working conditions and the practice of physical activity to improve quality of life.
