ANALYSIS OF WORK ANALOGOUS TO SLAVERY IN PIAUÍ, DURING THE PERIOD FROM 2020 TO 2022

Abstract

This research aims to analyze work analogous to slavery in the State of Piauí, during the period from 2020 to 2022, in order to investigate the occurrence of contemporary slave labor in Piauí, to identify a possible increase or decrease in this scenario, which is very recurrent in society. To this end, an investigative survey was carried out using an open-access database, through the platforms of the Piauí Public Ministry of Labor and the Observatory for the Eradication of Slave Labor and Human Trafficking. The results show that there has been a consecutive increase in the number of workers rescued, as well as pointing out the cities with the highest rates of rescued workers and the most recurrent socio-economic activities. The research concludes that the weakness of current legislation and eradication measures may have caused this phenomenon to remain.
