Abstract

Studies on the subject of migration have become increasingly complex, establishing a set of approaches on the topic derived from the diversity of the factors involved, such as interests, priorities and perspectives, in a context which has become characterized by the sheer intensity of human mobility. With Brazil having attracted the interest of a large number of migrants due to its economic growth in recent decades, a growing number of studies and research projects have been conducted into the phenomenon. According to recent studies and publications, it may be observed that Brazilian companies have shown an interest in contracting migrant workers, due to the lack of availability of a local workforce resulting from the full employment registered in Brazil as of the beginning of the twenty-first century. This article contextualizes the legislation for immigrants and discusses Brazil’s position on the implementation of public policies designed to meet the interests of its incoming immigrants.
