Uma análise da dinâmica do trabalho informal em Alagoas, no período de 2014 a 2021, em resposta à perda de vitalidade econômica

Abstract

The State of Alagoas comes over the years from 2014 to 2021, demonstrating a slight increase in the rate of people working informally, this is associated with the large volume of unemployed people in the state, which reached in 2020 the highest rate recorded within the period studied. . The informality of work in Brazil predates the Consolidation of Labor Laws (CLT) which was instituted in 1943, however, studies on the informal economy in Brazil appear with more visibility from the 1970s onwards. This work proposes to analyze the dynamics of informal work in Alagoas, from 2014 to 2021, in response to the loss of economic vitality. The methodology consists of collecting data made available by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics, as well as the set of laws that regulate the relationship between capital and work, since 1943. In 2020, the unemployment rate in Brazil reached 13.7 %, the highest ever seen in the entire historical series of the country, barring the movement that had been falling, observed since 2018. In Alagoas, in the same period, its lowest index was recorded in the 4th quarter of 2014, with a rate of 9.5% and reached its highest peak in the 4th quarter of 2020, with 18.9%. Both in Brazil and in Alagoas, the highest unemployment rate was recorded in 2020, due to the health crisis of the Coronavirus that the country was in. More than 60% of Alagoas were in the informal sector in the 4th quarter of 2021, the highest number recorded since the 4th quarter of 2015, when it registered a rate of 48%.
