Precarização do trabalho e reformas trabalhistas no brasil: reflexões à luz das teorias de David Harvey sobre as dinâmicas do capitalismo contemporâneo

Abstract

This study addresses the precariousness of work in Brazil, with the aim of analyzing the effects of labor reforms, with an emphasis on the 2017 Reform (Law No. 13,467/2017), in light of David Harvey's theories on the dynamics of contemporary capitalism. The introduction contextualizes the process of productive restructuring and the neoliberal policies that have been impacting labor relations in the country. The main objective is to analyze how Brazilian labor reforms, especially the 2017 reform, contribute to the intensification of precarious work, considering the concepts of accumulation by dispossession and flexibilization of labor relations, discussed by Harvey. The methodology used is qualitative, exploratory in nature, based on bibliographic and documentary research. Reference works, scientific articles, labor laws, and official documents were analyzed, applying a critical and interpretative approach guided by David Harvey's theoretical categories. The results indicate that Brazilian labor reforms are part of a broader context of reconfiguration of labor relations, marked by processes of flexibilization, deregulation, and loss of social rights. Thus, such changes reflect the logic of expansion and adaptation of capital to the structural crises of the system, deepening the precariousness of work and increasing the vulnerability of the working class.
