This text discusses the institutional changes that were made in the recent period in Brazil. If they are not reversed in a future government, they will have, on the one hand, redefined the place of the state in the economy and society, resulting, among other consequences, in the shrinking of public policies in general, and especially of social policies; on the other hand, they will have substantially altered the country’s labor market, expanding the presence of the already important and structural segment of informal workers. They are: Constitutional Amendment 95 (EC 95) and the set of articles and provisions of the Consolidation of Labor Laws (CLT) that were amended by the labor reform. In its first section, some aspects of the conditions inherited by the new government are analyzed; In the second, we discuss Constitutional Amendment 95, and in the next, we see labor reform and the labor market, both inherited from Michel Temer’s government. In section four, we detail some of the ongoing measures of the new government.
