O trabalho análogo escravo contemporâneo: seus impactos e os mecanismos de combate e responsabilização

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the social and economic impacts caused by contemporary slave-like labor in the communities where it persists. Although archaic, this practice has endured and evolved alongside society over the centuries, serving as a profitable resource for a sector that victimizes individuals and disregards human dignity. This is a bibliographic research that seeks to understand the impacts of this practice on society by examining the legal and institutional mechanisms for combating and holding exploiters accountable. The justification for conducting this study lies in the urgent need to address a reality that primarily affects socially vulnerable populations. Although there are legal frameworks that criminalize such practices, informality and scarce resources remain significant barriers to eradicating the problem. The actions of institutions such as the Public Labor Prosecutor's Office, the existence of the "Dirty List" of employers, and the expropriation of properties are strategies that have shown positive effects. It is concluded that the fight against contemporary slave-like labor in affected communities requires political will, intersectoral coordination, and public policies focused on inclusion, education, and social justice.
