QUALIFICATION AND EXPLORATION:OF THE WORKFORCE IN BRAZIL

The book focuses on the dynamics of workforce qualification and its transformations throughout capitalist development. Starting from Marx's theoretical foundations, the analysis covers the role of the division of labor, cooperation, and technological advancement, and how these forces shape the complexity of work. Throughout the chapters, historical milestones are discussed, such as the impact of Taylorism and Fordism, and their repercussions on education and working conditions in the 21st century.

The book not only examines the historical and structural evolution of wage labor, but also connects this development to the Brazilian reality. By bringing to light the concept of superexploitation, precariousness, and the effects of flexibilization in the labor market, the book explores the formation and consolidation of the Brazilian market since 1930, highlighting how economic and educational policies have shaped the trajectory of work in the country.

A key highlight is the discussion of recent changes, such as labor reforms, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the growing dehumanization of workers. The introduction of the Labor Quality Index (IQT) is a crucial point in understanding the effects of the intensification of exploitation and the deterioration of working conditions.

With a fluid narrative and in-depth analysis, the book invites the reader to reflect critically on the present and future of work, revealing how economic and political forces shape the lives of workers, their value, and their position in the global capitalist dynamic.
