Intermediação de mão de obra e desenvolvimento regional: O Sistema Nacional de Emprego no município de Campina Grande – PB

Abstract

Brazilian labor market is characterized by a strong heterogeneity, since the beginning of its structuring. The severity of the Brazilian unemployment problem has intensified since the 1990s, when thousands of jobs were reduced, excluding a large number of workers from the formal labor market and making them look for livelihood solutions in precariousness and in informality. In this way, the governors presented proposals and put into practice policies aimed at employment and income generation, which act to reduce the rates of unemployment, precariousness and informality in the country until the present day. In this context, the National Employment System (SINE), created in 1975, was created to combat labor market deficiencies, offering free services to the general population, who wish to (re)enter the formal market through labor intermediation, among other services offered. In this sense, this study verifies the performance of the municipal SINE as a labor intermediator in Campina Grande - PB, evaluating the profile of the unemployed workers who attend the institution in the city. For that, a field research was carried out through a questionnaire applied to a sample of unemployed workers, users of SINE services. The results allowed a deepening on the performance of the entity to tackle its propositions, as well as concludes that the Municipal SINE has deficiencies. In addition, suggestions and improvements have been made, enabling the institution to better analyze its demand for workers, seek advances in the areas of labor intermediation, and provide professional qualification courses that are better suited to the profile of the city workers.
