A influência da OIT no Brasil (1919-1943)

Abstract

The objective of this research is to study the impact of the International Labour Organization (ILO) in Brazil on the formation of the country's labour legislation, between 1919 and 1943. The ILO was created in 1919 as a means of promoting social progress and resolving economic conflicts through dialogue and cooperation. The organization works through Conventions, Recommendations, Inspections and the International Labour Conference as a means of disseminating international labour standards among member countries. Since the creation of the ILO, Brazil has ratified several Conventions and has been represented in the country since 1950, which indicates the importance of the institution for the country. Although there is a wide production of research that develops a historical perspective of the role of the ILO in several countries, there is still a gap to be filled in the Brazilian academic environment in this aspect. To develop this type of study, it is possible to count on the wide availability of official documents produced by the organization. Among these, the ILO Conventions, Recommendations and Reports stand out. It is expected to draw a historical perspective from the beginning of the 20th century until the enactment of the Consolidation of Labour Laws in 1943, which will allow defining the Organization's influence in Brazil and serve as a reference for future research in the area of history or similar areas.
