A reforma trabalhista de 2017 e as possíveis consequências na saúde do trabalhador brasileiro

Abstract

The 2017 Labor Reform in Brazil was implemented with the purpose of flexibilizing the relationships between employers and employees, changing various aspects ofthe Consolidation of Labor Laws, and introducing new forms of work. The focus of this monograph is to assess the impact of this reform on the health of Brazilian workers. The adopted methodology is comparative, descriptive, and quantitative, analyzing the main points of change and presenting data to investigate whether there was an increase in workplace accidents from 2017. However, it is emphasized that there is underreporting, influenced by the lack of records of informal workers and public servants, as well as the absence of mandatory reporting. According to DIEESE, the estimate of unreported cases suggests a distortion in the real understanding of the impacts on worker health.
