Transformations in the Santa Catarina labor market: the reality of youth

Abstract

Unemployment and informality have become fundamental to the survival of the current model and youth is one of the segments that suffers most from these evils. The 1990s is marked by the advent of neoliberal politics, which promoted several changes in the working world. As a result Brazil and the State of Santa Catarina also suffered the effects of these changes. The objective of this article is to build a brief diagnosis of the young, the labor market and its reality in the state of Santa Catarina. Here we focused on the idea of how youth, or a large part of it, comes across the face of significant difficulties upon their insertion into the labor market. These difficulties are revealed in rates of unemployment, informality, the low pay and other forms of existing precariousness in labor relations.
