Trabalho análogo ao de escravo como um problema contemporâneo: uma análise da realidade brasileira mediante estudo de dados e legislações aplicáveis

Abstract

The monograph deals with slave-like work as a contemporary problem, in order to identify its size, in Brazil, the Southeast region, Minas Gerais and the municipality of Uberlândia in the period 2007 to 2017. Thus, it was analyzed the laws and public policies concerning the subject. Subsequently, a study of the data on the rescued workers, their naturalness and their residence, was made based on the above-mentioned temporal and spatial delimitation. With the analyzes made, it can be understood that, in spite of existing norms on worker protection and prohibitions of work in conditions analogous to slavery, which are many, besides the public policies on the subject, the numbers on the subject are also expressive, which denotes that contemporary slavery is a serious problem and that needs attention from the governmental authorities and the population in general. According to the study, education is recommended as an instrument for the prevention and eradication of contemporary slavery, as a result of making individuals aware of and mobilizing about the proposed theme.
