Direitos trabalhistas no Brasil e o impacto da pandemia da Covid-19

Abstract

This Course Completion Work is entitled "Labor rights in Brazil and the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic" and aims to understand labor rights in Brazil and the consequences caused during the Covid-19 pandemic process, seeking, thus, the historical understanding of labor rights and their current aspects. The study presents some ways of guaranteeing labor rights in Brazil, reflecting on the consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic for workers. With the knowledge about labor rights in Brazil, in the pandemic context, we were able to observe how this affected the entire Brazilian population and, mainly, the working class. The choice of this topic was due to the importance of knowing about the consequences that the virus brought to all areas of social life, including work. In this sense, when researching this unpredictable adversity, which was the pandemic, we raised questions about work, creating a timeline and capturing the exploitation of the labor force when going through an eventual difficulty spreading throughout society, as was the pandemic. Thus, this work was carried out based on bibliographic and documentary references (documents printed and available in the edia/internet). In fact, we delve deeper into this issue, based on qualitative research by authors who focus on labor laws, unemployment, work and studies on the Covid-19 pandemic. Finally, we highlight that, in our quantitative research, data collection and statistics were used, using the Institute for Applied Economic Research (IPEA) foundation and the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE).
