Abstract

The objective of this article was to analyze the relationship between the growth in the employment and occupation rate and the growth in the level of informalization of work after the 2017 labor reform in Brazil, through the analysis of data from the National Household Sample Survey (PNAD) and the Federal Revenue Service. As of 2017, around 3.5 million new CNPJs were opened under the MEI model and there was an increase of around 1.5 million in the occupation category "self-employed with CNPJ". There was a decrease in the number of formal jobs in private companies, while the self-employed category increased. The article concludes that the labor reform did not fulfill the promise of job growth and that pejotization is a side effect of the flexibilization of labor laws
