FORMAL AND INFORMAL MARKETS AND PUBLIC POLICIES IN BRAZIL

Journal Title: European Journal of Business and Social Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 6

Abstract

In this article, we conduct an analysis of the relationship between formal and informal markets in Brazil, and we verify in what ways the crisis of the working society has important impacts on the growth of the informal sector in this country. Subsequently we analyze the public policies which are directed towards the informal market people. We also describe our qualitative survey conducted in Brazil with several people who have gone through different work and income programs and who were part of the informal economy. We observed, through field research, that the work and income public policies fail to make their beneficiaries leave the informal sector - marked by poverty - to the formal economy - marked by citizenship rights.
