Abstract

This is a bibliographic study that presents the emergence of French labor sociology, when the decline of Taylorism-Fordism and the impoverishment of labor became apparent. Among other cleavages in studies on the world of work, French labor sociology founded a field of studies and developed an efficient and sophisticated methodology to investigate the qualification of the workforce under the capitalist mode of production. The objective here is to seek theoretical elements to understand the new demands for enriched and qualified labor that the new economy and the new stage of capitalist accumulation impose on the educational and professional training systems. The conclusion of this study is that, in Brazil, the French methodology is still largely ignored by researchers, and this behavior has compromised the quality of research on the qualification of the workforce.
