Abstract

The present article aims to determine if the high unemployment rates in Brazil can be attributed to the excess of rights granted to workers by labor norms. The analysis departs from the entry into force of Law n. 13.467, in 11/11/2017, which altered various labor norms, under the justification that it would foster the creation of formal jobs and advance the economy. In order to reach this objective, after a brief analysis of the importance of work for national development and its constitutional protection, the article analyses official statistical data pertaining to periods before and after the legislative change. According to the data provided, it aims to answer if the labor law reform caused greater precariousness of labor and generated new formal jobs in Brazil. The methodology applied is bibliographical research concerning relevant books and journals as well as the analysis of databases and reports produced by government agencies such as the “Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística – IBGE” and the “Instituto de Pesquisa Econômica Aplicada – IPEA”.
