Resumo: This article aims to understand the characteristics of migration policies targeted at refugees, especially concerning the right to work, from the end of World War II to 2019. Migration policy can be defined as the rights and obligations of migrants, including the guarantees and regulations immigrants have when residing in a foreign country. Labor shortages, national security, international treaties, and humanitarian issues are often recurring concerns in migration policy management. This study relied on scientific, journalistic and institutional (legislative) sources available in digital media. Documentary data analysis focusing on themes regarding migration policy, refugees, and refugee employment were used. As a result, it has been concluded that Brazil had inherited conservative, nationalist, and racist policies in the scope of migration. Furthermore, regardless of the progress made during the democratic period, there is still room for improvement in refugee assistance following its legalization in the country. The right to work and the documentation required to work legally are safeguarded to immigrants recognized as refugees. It also includes groups who have acquired the right to validate their qualifications. Nonetheless, the policy has failed to ensure access to employment and protect these groups from performing illegal work without labor rights, which, in turn, highlights the need for public policies that may intervene in this regard. In conclusion, we show the relevance of migration policies to the legal recognition of refugees’ rights, especially concerning their right to work.

La escasez de mano de obra, seguridad nacional, tratados internacionales y cuestiones humanitarias son algunos de los temas que influyen en la gestión de las políticas de migración. Con este fin, se llevó a cabo una investigación documental y bibliográfica, utilizando fuentes científicas, periodísticas e institucionales, disponibles en medios digitales y que trataban temas como política de inmigración, refugiados y derecho al trabajo de los refugiados. Como resultado, se concluye que Brasil heredó políticas nacionalistas, conservadoras y racistas en el ámbito de la política de migración. Además, a pesar de haber logrado un progreso significativo durante el período democrático, todavía hay margen para mejorar la asistencia a los refugiados después de su legalización en el país. El derecho al trabajo y la documentación necesaria para trabajar legalmente están salvaguardados para los inmigrantes reconocidos como refugiados, incluido el derecho a validar sus diplomas, estudios y calificaciones. Sin embargo, la política no ha garantizado el acceso al empleo ni protege a estos grupos de realizar trabajos ilegales, lo que, a su vez, subraya la necesidad de políticas públicas que puedan intervenir en este sentido. Finalmente, destacamos la relevancia de las políticas de migración para el reconocimiento legal de los derechos de los refugiados, especialmente con respecto a su derecho al trabajo.O artigo tem como objetivo compreender as características das políticas migratórias para refugiados, especificamente em relação ao direito ao trabalho, desde a segunda-guerra até 2019. Políticas migratórias podem ser definidas como direitos e deveres dos imigrantes, incluindo garantias e regulamentações relacionadas à residência e entrada em um país estrangeiro. Escassez de mão de obra, segurança nacional, tratados internacionais e questões humanitárias são algumas das questões frequentes que influenciam a gestão de políticas migratórias. Para tanto, foi realizada uma pesquisa documental e bibliográfica, no qual utilizou-se de fontes científicas, jornalísticas e institucionais (legislações), disponíveis em mídia digital e que tratavam de temas como política migratória, refugiados e direito ao trabalho de refugiados. Como resultado, conclui-se que o Brasil herdou políticas nacionalistas, conservadoras e racistas no escopo da política de migração. Além disso, apesar de ter tido avanços significativos durante o período democrático, ainda há espaço para melhorias na assistência aos refugiados após sua legalização no país. O direito ao trabalho e a documentação necessária para trabalhar legalmente são salvaguardados para os imigrantes reconhecidos como refugiados, incluindo o direito de validar seus diplomas, estudos e qualificações. No entanto, a política falhou em garantir o acesso ao emprego e proteger esses grupos de realizar trabalhos ilegais, o que, por sua vez, ressalta a necessidade de políticas públicas que possam intervir nesse sentido. Por fim, destacamos a relevância das políticas de migração para o reconhecimento legal dos direitos dos refugiados, especialmente no que tange ao seu direito ao trabalho.Escola Brasileira de Administração Pública e de Empresas da Fundação Getulio Vargas2021-06-14info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/8323910.1590/1679-395120200028Cadernos EBAPE.BR; Vol. 19 No. 2 (2021) - Refugees/Displaced people in the workplace; 325-337Cadernos EBAPE.BR; Vol. 19 Núm. 2 (2021) - Personas refugiadas o desplazadas en el lugar de trabajo; 325-337Cadernos EBAPE.BR; v. 18 n. 2 (2021) - Pessoas refugiadas ou deslocadas no ambiente de trabalho; 325-3371679-3951reponame:Cadernos EBAPE.BRinstname:Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)instacron:FGVporenghttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/83239/79047https://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/83239/79048Martins, Andreia de Fátima HoelzleXavier, Wescley Silvainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2023-02-23T19:16:36Zoai:ojs.periodicos.fgv.br:article/83239Revistahttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebapehttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/oaicadernosebape@fgv.br||cadernosebape@fgv.br1679-39511679-3951opendoar:2024-05-13T10:00:20.785869Cadernos EBAPE.BR - Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)true
