“Por precisão”: o impacto do salário mínimo no agravamento das vulnerabilidades do trabalhador brasileiro

Abstract

This article discusses the impact of the minimum wage on the vulnerabilities of Brazilian workers, demonstrating its connection with basic needs, such as food, health and housing. The general purpose is to analyze how the minimum wage interferes with the quality of life of workers and their social inclusion. This work is evidenced by the growing debate about the efficiency of the minimum wage in ensuring a decent standard of living, especially in situations of rising prices that generate social inequalities. Through historical and theoretical research, the article analyzes social policies related to the minimum wage, as well as its role in protecting workers' rights. Finally, it concludes that, without a fair minimum wage, the vulnerabilities faced by workers tend to intensify and make it impossible for them to have access to a decent life.
