RESUMO

The present thesis aims to draw a balance of labour regulation in Brazil from the beginning of the 90 s to the present days, observing the changes both related to the regulation content and it s range. Concerning regulation content, the analyses focuses central aspects of employment relation: sorts of labour contracts, earnings and working hours. These aspects have suffered lots of punctual changes, yet they all had the same tendency to strengthen flexibility in labour relations, within a country characterized by a labour market historically weakly structured and marked by a structural excessive supply of labour, high rates of informality, low wages, poor social protection and significant disrespect for actual rights. It is a historical flexibility, increasing since the 90 s, within a context of low rates of economic growth, labour market narrowing and prevalence of an economical order dominated by finances and the hegemony of neoliberalism. When analyzing the changes, the effort is to verify their effectiveness and impact on labour market. Concerning the range of regulation, the analyses aims to perceive the changing resulting from legal altering, from collective bargaining, from the market dynamics and/or the discretionary power of the employer to establish new rules and norms which determine the conditions of using, contracting and remunerating the work force. The changes complement themselves in these three aspects, although the most considerable effect over the workers lives does not come from the deregulation itself but from the dynamics of the labour market. The set of changes tends to weaken the public regulation of the labour market, strengthening the mercantilization of the labour force logic and leaving labour even more insecure, unstable and precarious.
