Inequality that Produces Precarious Work: The Concentration of Income and Wealth also Shapes the Brazilian Labor Market

The article analyzes the relationship between the high concentration of income and wealth and the formation of a labor market structurally marked by precariousness in Brazil. The central hypothesis argues that social inequality is not merely a byproduct of economic dynamics, but an organizing principle that shapes occupational morphology, encouraging the creation of low-productivity and poorly paid jobs. These are concentrated especially in personal services, notably where women and the Black population are most represented.
