Abstract

The main objective of the article is to analyze the impacts of the labor reform carried out in Brazil in 2017 on the labor market of Santa Catarina. The analytical starting point goes back to the recent process of changes in the world of work at the global level, as well as to the process of economic crisis established in the country from 2014. This crisis brought up the argument of hegemonic sectors of capital, among the government on duty at the time, which claims that the solution to the problems of unemployment and informality in Brazil would come from a broad reform in labor legislation. Based on information from PNAD Contínua, the article analyzes the possible impacts of changes in labor legislation over the levels of workforce occupation and formalization of employment in the state of Santa Catarina, and, based on Caged data, over the formal labor market, particularly the modalities of intermittent and part-time work. The results indicates that, instead of attacking labor precariousness, the reform facilitated its extension to areas that previously provided workers with a higher degree of security.
