Abstract

This chapter discusses the current dismantling of public policies related to employment in Brazil. The hypothesis that guides this study is based on the assumption that the precarious institutionalization of the public employment system in the country, particularly for professional training and unemployment insurance programs, their failure to adapt to a context of changes in the labor market, and the recent dismantling of labor legislation, are factors that favor the dismantling of these policies. This hypothesis will be tested by demonstrating how the coalitions of conservative forces that governed Brazil in the period between 2016 and 2022 began to exploit the ambiguities of employment policies to distort their forms and functions, contributing to its systemic disruption and eventual replacement by a “system of employability without rights.”
