Zusammenfassung
  • Despite the advancements of the last decade in economic growth, social development, and job creation, Brazil still has a problem with precarious employment. Brazilian youth enter the labour market at a young age, amplifying aspects of this structural problem. Youth unemployment hits harder those with lower incomes, less education, women, Afro-Brazilians and people living in urban areas. The strategic challenge in fighting youth unemployment is not solved by creating more jobs for young people, given the fact that most of them are working. However, working conditions are precarious. Anderson Campos underlines in this study the necessity to recognize the right of young people to choose at what stage of their lives they want to enter the labour market. He calls for a government policy geared towards strengthening universal social protection and towards public regulation of the labour market to reverse the negative pattern of Brazilian youth being placed in the workforce.
