Abstract

The Brazilian public policies related to labor were usually guided by the attempt to supply cheap and plentiful manpower, firstly for rural elites, then for the incipient industrial capital. Both slavery and immigration policies were linked to this purpose. However, the subsequent social legislation took on the contradictory character of social and economic transformations of the twentieth century and from its authoritarian bases acquired an emancipatory content. The nowadays fragmentation and reduction of the work, both quantitative and qualitative, requires new forms of social protection, in addition to the wage-based citizenship, in order to incorporate those supposedly autonomous workers, which are found under deep structural dependency. It is necessary to allocate public space for activities that still do not have symbolic relevance and that demand new forms of social solidarity. It is in this perspective that social income programs should be designed.
