As políticas de emprego nos governos Temer e Bolsonaro (2016- 2022): uma análise a partir da superpopulação relativa da classe trabalhadora e da superexploração da força de trabalho

Abstract

This study sought to analyze employment policies in Brazil from 2016 to 2022, considering the two phases of the Federal Government in this period, led by Michel Temer (August 31, 2016 until December 31, 2020) and Jair Bolsonaro (1st of January 2019 to December 31, 2022). For this analysis, in the light of the Marxist Dependency Theory, important markers were considered – unemployment, employability and poverty rates; salary variations; transformations in the labor market – for the political ordering of employment policy actions implemented in this period, since, for decades, employment and social assistance policies have been (under)used as a support for the super-exploitation of the workforce . We affirm that in this study we will not highlight specific alternatives to face the unemployment situation during the period of the COVID-19 Pandemic, focusing on the structural issues developed by the Temer and Bolsonaro governments regarding employment policies.
