| Summary: | The paper criticizes the fundamentals of the neoliberal strategy of economic growth and analyses its implications for the national labour market. First, it examines the strategy adopted by the FHC government (focused on inflation control, fiscal austerity and trade liberalization), in which jobs and wages are seen as macroeconomic adjustment variables. Next, it explains the developmentalist strategy formulated in the Lula government and altered in the Dilma government, which emphasizes the positive impacts of economic dynamism and social policies on the labour market. In sequence, it shows the main arguments present in the recent debate between the exponents of both approaches. It exposes, then, the return of the neoliberal strategy in the Temer government and its negative effects on the labour market. In the end, it suggests that the radicalization of the neoliberal strategy in the Bolsonaro government will aggravate the chronic problems of the Brazilian labour market. |
