Os dilemas da participação e controle social: um estudo sobre o Conselho Estadual de Trabalho e Emprego - PB.

Abstract

This paper aims to deepen the discussions on public policies for employment and the role and performance of committees to employment. The public debate on the subject has been intensified, especially after the completion of two national conferences in 2004 and 2005, focusing on the proposed construction in the country of a system of public employment, work and income, including business representatives, unions and three spheres of government and all regions of the country. Indeed, this new design made by the discussion of public policies of the universe of work, is linked to structural changes in this universe, such as the precariousness of working conditions and the increase in informal employment. Within this context, some questions are guiding this work: What consequences it brings to the public policies of employment and the work of committees of employment? What new challenges they present? As this is being perceived by the counselors? As part of this work will be studied, particularly in the case of the State Commission of Labor and Employment of Paraíba.
